... which is not in /boot as far as I see.
So if I want to add kernel-boot-time-options I have to install my own
kernel plus the entry in menu.lst, correct?

Thanks!


Correct.

pv-grub is a script in dom0 that will attempt to read the menu.lst in /boot
of the VM, and based on that file, initialize a domU with the referred
kernel (residing in /boot), passing all boot time options to the kernel.



It performs magic tricks to read the /boot proper, because / might be on a
different partition or even different virtual disk, but 99% of the time it
works automagically.

It's the 1% that you should be scared of :-)
