I know that one doesn't need a bootloader for domains != 0. However, I have a desire to configure a system this way (to make it a good facimily of a bare metal system) and am wondering what if any support for boot loaders there might be? I presume that there is no BIOS available when running on 'xen virtualised hardware'. Is there anything even similar available or planned. How hard might it be?
