The lines from one of my config files are -
disk = [ 'phy:hda5,hda1,w' , 'phy:hda6,hda2,w' ]
and 
root = "/dev/hda1 ro"

The root line tells the guest where to find its root filesystem.

I use partitions (never tried to use a file) but by looking at the doc's
you should use the /full/path/and/filename to the ttylinux file in the
dom0 file system.

As far as I know it should not matter if you use hda1 or sda1 as what
ever you use is what the guest will see and the guest does not see the
actual underlying hardware. Someone please correct me if I am wrong :-)
