So you're trying a manual method, without virt-install/virt-manager? Good :D

See
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/xen/

Or download initrd.gz and vmlinuz from there, and use a config similar to this
#===============================================
memory = "1000"

vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3E:BD:96:42, bridge=eth0, vifname=u-e0' ]
disk =  [
        'phy:/dev/VG/ubuntu-test,xvda,w',
        ]

vcpus=1

kernel = "/vm/install/ubuntu/vmlinuz"
ramdisk = "/vm/install/ubuntu/initrd.gz"

vfb=[ "type=vnc,vncunused=1,vnclisten=0.0.0.0" ]
#===============================================

Note the "bridge" parameter. It might be eth0, xenbr0, or some other
bridge that you create manually (try runnning "brctl show"). After
installation completes, delete both "kernel" and "ramdisk" line, add

bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub"
