It's about isolinux command prompt - in legacy (non-UEFI) mode.

Actually, you can. You need to mount vfat partition (not iso9660 one) of
the installation disk (AFAIR it's the second partition). Note that
changing anything on installation disk will fail media verification, so
you may want to first start the installer just to verify it, then apply
above change and while starting for actual installation, go with just
"install" option, not "verify and install". Keep it in mind when editing
xen.cfg - those are separate sections there.
