There are a lot of install-method for PV-Guests, like

- copy existing /-FS
- unpack /-FS-tarballs
- debootstrap / febootstrap /rinse 
- yum / rpm 
- xen-tools (which is a wrapper around the above-mentioned tools)
- net-install throught d-i, kickstart, whatever
- and so on....

PV-Guests have no boot-order, so u cant boot a PV-Guest from a CD. So
the point is to have a xen-compatible Kernel (+ initrd) with "some
instructions what to do next, e.g. start an installation or
start /sbin/init from somewhere"....
