I did that:
mount -o loop /uml/bin /mnt/somewhere on the dom0
fix the fstab /dev/udba ->/dev/hda
/dev/udba / ext3 auto 0 1
/dev/hda / ext3 auto 0 1
fix the /etc/network/interfaces include only that:
# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
umount /mnt/somewhere
and then I wrote the domU config to /etc/xen/foo
# general
name = "foo";
memory = 512;
# booting
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16.18-xenU";
extra = "udev";
# virtual harddisk
disk = [ "file:/uml/bin,hda,w"];
root = "/dev/hda ro";
# network
nics=1
dhcp ="off"
ip="192.168.0.54"
netmask="255.255.255.0"
gateway="192.168.0.1"
hostname="xen-uml"
after that
xm create /etc/xen/foo -c
