Great idea. I didn't know I could implement bootloaders myself.
I merged my block-script with your bootloader-script and it works great.

I parses /boot/grub/menu.lst (inside the domUs-root-partition), reads
"kernel" and "ramdisk" path of the "default"-th entry in the configuration
list, copies those to the dom0, and returns appropiate paths to xen.
Last problem: The "exit 3" does not seem to work correctly. Whenever a
problem exists, xm create just hangs instead of stopping...

For anyone interested I have pasted it below.

Regards,
  Steffen
