X forwarding over ssh or a remote X display would be the obvious choice.
Another option would be to set domU's console to vnc, bind to all ip
address instead of localhost, and connect using vnc client. Something like

sdl=0
vnc=1
vnclisten="0.0.0.0"

Certain installers (e.g. linux, solaris) may have an option to force the
installer to use serial console. In this case, the HVM console should
work as-is, without any additional setup.
