I was informed in #xen that 'pygrub' is not a "real bootloader", and
can't boot to DVD. In order to successfully do that, I'd need to boot
an HVM guest.
Switching my config to:
cat test.cfg
name = 'test'
kernel = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'
builder = 'hvm'
#device_model = '/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
acpi = 1
apic = 1
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/VG0/boot,xvda,w', 'phy:/dev/VG0/swap,xvdb,w',
'phy:/dev/VG0/root,xvdc,w', 'phy:/dev/cdrom,xvdd:cdrom,r', ]
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3E:55:00:01, model=rtl8139, type=ioemu,
bridge=br0, vifname=vifO',]
vfb = [ 'type=vnc, vncdisplay=1, vnclisten=127.0.0.1' ]
boot = 'f'
maxmem = 2048
vcpus = 4
localtime = 0
netif = 'yes'
on_shutdown = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'destroy'
on_crash = 'destroy'
Guest launch still fails, but differently,
xl create -c test.cfg

Can someone contribute a working config to boot a Xen Guest -- hvm or pv
-- from the Opensuse installer and launch it for access via VNC?
