that's /etc/fstab allright. Change the line that says LABEL=/ to /dev/sda1.
You might also need to remove the line that mounts /boot
For kernel-2.6-based or nptl-enabled distro, you also need to remove 
/lib/tls and /usr/lib/tls on the domain root file system
(Xen will tell you to do this when it boots).

Is that what "-b---" means? All my virtual domains shows that, and yet 
they're working perfectly.

First glance says your config is allright. You might want to add swap as 
/dev/sda2 too, though.

All have modules disabled, so you can ignore all messages about kernel 
modules.
