Arsen,

you don't have to mount or losetup anything. In fact it will cause Xen 
to not start the domain.
Your "file" line looks okay, except you should eliminate the blank 
before sda1 (syntax problem?). Also check that /etc/fstab in your 
guest-image specifies sda1 as the root device.
Bye,

Andrej
