The above error message means "there is no device called /dev/hda5".
This means that you have not exported it as a vbd to this domain.
The vbd exports and the /etc/fstab for every domain (except 0) need
to be "in sync".

My guess is that you have either hda5 or hda3 (or both) mounted
read-write in domain 0. If the tool let you proceed, you would
end up moulinexing the partitions (you cannot allow two domains
to mount the same partition read-write as they will make independent
and inconsistent updates).
To fix this, unmout (or remount read-only) /dev/hda5 and/or /dev/hda3

Well this would cause the problem you observed above: you have now
not exported hda5 to the new domain, and so when it tries to access
it it discovers that it is not there.
> Why I can't use /dev/hda5 as the vbd_list?
This is not a sane question -- if you mean why can you not have
hda5 in the vbd_list, the answer is almost certainly as explained
above.

There are a number of howtos as mentioned in Ian's last message:
Jans' excellent Xen FAQ:
http://xen.epiuse.com/xen-faq.txt
Bin Ren's HOWTO:
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~br260/doc/xeno-1.1-howto.txt
Yan-Ching's HOWTO:
http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~u2ycc/xen/xen-install-domain-fs-howto.txt
Xen for Grid by Greg Newby:
http://www.arsc.edu/~newby/grid/xen-for-grid.txt
However I do not think any of these go into sufficient detail for you.
cheers,
