Your next step is to convince your bootloader to boot with /dev/sda1 as

You should hopefully see a list of your possible OS'es to boot(it will
probably only show one, even though we all know you now have two.) With
LILO, I believe you just type on the commandline the name of the
instance you want to load then follow it with root=/dev/sda1
I've only had GRUB since I started using Xen, so I don't recall exactly
what it looks like, but basically you need to tell it where a kernel is
it can boot, and what partition to boot as /(root). Fortunately, GRUB
can look into filesystems and help you with filename completion for th
kernel.
Oh, forgot to mention. This is a one-time fix. You should use whatever
method is prescribed by the bootloader on your machine to permanently
convince it to boot to /dev/sda1.
I think GRUB is required for Xen, so go ahead and get it set up and
configured there.
Being able to boot another partition is useful, but not necessary. It
might not be a bad idea to keep a bootable kernel in the /boot of
another partition. That way with a boot disk, you can boot to that
partition if you hose your main install.
Make sure you're moderately happy with the partition scheme you've
configured. I am currently minus my home Xen box because I used parted
to redo my partitions and now GRUB just gives "Error 17" or something
like that... I hope to straighten that out tonight.
