Err, I don't understand. Are you meaning that /dev/sda1 contains the /

The first argument is where the _guest_ / is as seen from dom0.

That's where para-virtualisation is useful. The "sda" above is just a
name, the name under which the disk will appear in the guest. It happens
that in Mach, be the disk IDE or SCSI it will appear as /dev/hd0, so
I've made the Xen support so that you can set sda or hda, that will just
be the same.

You have already done so: that's the -c option.

When it runs fine, yes, you should get the kernel messages.

See above.
