Possible strategies for fresh domU installation that I'm aware of:
1) install to bare hardware, and then copy the filesystem to a place
where xen can load it
2) install into vmware and then do the same
3) qemu probably works as well...I haven't tried it
4) find a disk image/tarred archive of an installed base system, and
extract it to a xen accessible partition
4a) find a disk image of an earlier version and use apt/yum/emerge/etc
to update it after installing
(note that uml and colinux are two projects that have pre-existing disk
images of some popular distros)
5) use your distro's procedure to bootstrap into a chroot environment
(if it has one) such as debian's debootstrap or by using gentoo's stage3
installation approach. (none for RedHat9 that I'm aware of)
