If you want to have something to play with:

http://www.suse.de/~kraxel/kexec/README.vmlinuz-xen-kboot
http://www.suse.de/~kraxel/kexec/vmlinuz-xen-kboot.32

  [ the pae/64 kernels are not updated yet and
    can boot from the virtual disk only ]

Put this into the xen config file:

   kernel="/path/to/vmlinuz-xen-kboot.32"
   extra="kernel=tftp:vmlinuz-xen"

extra="kernel=http://host/path/file" works too.

cheers,
  Gerd
