OK, I got the files from
http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/x86_64/os/ima...
and put them both under /boot of the host (Debian) and the guest (FC7) and
used the following config file:
kernel = '/boot/fc7-xen-vmlinuz'
ramdisk = '/boot/fc7-xen-initrd.img'
memory = 256
name = 'fc7-01'
root = '/dev/hda1 ro'
vif = ['type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0']
disk = ['phy:/dev/xen/fc7-01,ioemu:hda,w']
cdrom = 'file://root/iso/fc7/i386/boot.iso'
device_model='/usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/bin/qemu-dm'
boot='d'
sdl='1'
Change this to 'sdl=0' and add 'vnc=1'. This will make Xen start a
VNC server in the Dom0 host to which you can connect & view the guest
installer.
