I think a good next step is to try Mirage by following the "Getting 
started" links on the website:

http://www.openmirage.org/docs/

See if you can get a small kernel working on xen. It's a good idea to 
join the Mirage developer list (mirageos-devel@lists.xenproject.org) and 
send an email there if you get stuck. We've been trying to debug the 
getting started guide, so if you find bugs there then please report them.

Let me know how you get on! :-)

Thanks,
Dave
