I have done a PV boot of the Ubuntu 9.10 .iso but I haven't tried to install it 
from that...  You need to have pygrub and pv framebuffer support.
Key lines from the config file are:
disk = [ 'file:/export/iso/ubuntu/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso,xvdc:cdrom,r' ]
bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub"
bootargs = "--kernel=/casper/vmlinuz --ramdisk=/casper/initrd.lz 
--args=\"file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu
.seed boot=casper quiet splash --\""
