and IP PNP, in case the installserver address and ip should come via
dhcp as usually with FAI.
Debian Xen kernels lack all these AFAIK.

I think, You also want to use ide disk in the DomU,  as there are some
conflicts between nfs root and the scsi driver, if I remember
correctly - I had that problem and there where mails about this on
this list and on xen-users some months ago... but I am not really sure
anymore and too lazy to look it up now.
