Thank you very much, but didnt worked for me and it didnt answered my 
question really i think.
Nice to know how the SuSE-guys do it, but i tried to install an 
9.3-guest on the 10.2-host and it failed.
I used the files "um-host-install-initrd-1.0-50.i586.rpm", 
"kernel-xen-2.6.11.4-20a.i586.rpm" and the script "suse-prepare-install" 
in a dir, which created me an kernel, but no ramdisk and the create 
command didnt work and so on ....
But I want to know how the general way in Xen 3.0.3 is to boot from 
installation media of any kind. Maybe was the answer in your link and i 
just didnt get it, but i dont think so. You are making an special kernel 
and ramdisk which you give the create command on the commandline and 
overwrites the domain-config-file. But that feels like a trick to me.
And I think I'm not the first person who is asking this, I saw the 
question come up often on this list. Like "Hey, whats happened to this 
option "boot='d'", it didnt work anymore." But no Answers. Or Answers 
like "Hmm, yeah, ure right, they changed something, use the code, Luke"
So does anyone know how it works or can tell me please where to look?
