Well, thanks for the advice.
I didn't have luck. I used theese steps:

# gunzip ./xen.gz
# mbootpack -c 'dom0_mem=131072 noreboot' -m './vmlinuz-xen0
root=/dev/hda3 ro'  ./xen
This created the bzImage, no errors. Copied it to C:, and then from DOS:
C:\> loadlin bzImage

This loads something and then reboots very fast. With 'noreboot' too.
Next thing to try is a GRUB floppy :)
