title Fedora Core Xen (2.6.12-xen0)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /xen-3.0-devel.gz dom0_mem=137200 console=com1
com1=115200,8n1
        module /vmlinuz-2.6.12-xen0 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
console=ttyS0,115200,8n1
        module /initrd-2.6.12-xen0.img

This works great for me using agetty for console on an FC4 domO.

You should also be able to use something like
dom0_mem=128M according to the docs, but with no suffix it is in kilo
bytes.

Regards,
Ted
