Thread-topic:	exporting HVM physical device

Please help me understand how to properly export the disk to the guest domain given
the following logical setup.

LVM Volume Group
VolGroup00
LogVol00 / ext3 74176
LogVol01 swap 1984

Hard Drives
/dev/sda
/dev/sda /boot ext3 102
/dev/sda2 VolGroup00 LVMpv 76215

The following boots the guest but I suspect is incomplete:
disk = [ 'file:/xen/images/RHEL.img,hda,w', 'phy:/dev/cdrom,hdc:cdrom,r' ]

question 1: When using virt-install to create a fully virtualized redhat domain, where/how should I specify the location

(e.g., /dev/sdaX, /xen/images/file.img, other)?

question 2: What is the proper syntax to export disk in the configuration file given the above?

question 3: How do I access the disk within the domain?

question 4: How do I access the CDROM within the domain?

question 5: Any clue why STARTX results in a partially visible, unusable XTERM? Should QEMU be used instead of VNC?

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
