Yes, found it mentioned at
http://community.citrix.com/display/xs/The+Operation+of+Unsupported+Guests+on+XenServer+5.5+and+5.6

Thought it was too specialized for install boot (and, honestly, I have 
missed the word "Network"). Quote: "The eliloader is a special 
bootloader used to install PV guests from vendor media (CD and Network). 
[...] eliloader will automatically switch the guest configuration to 
PV-bootloader="pygrub" so that after installation pygrub is used to boot 
the disk."
This automatic switch to pygrub looks confusing, but it's hopefully it's 
disableable.
My kernel and initrd images are accessible via TFTP and HTTP, so 
specific PXE is not a requirement.
Is there any documentation about eliloader I can check, in order to 
tweak it's configuration to perform as I need? It have no man page under 
XCP 1.6, nor accepts -h or --help switches.
Thank you.
