Basically just set up cobbler and import a tree (or set it up manually) 
on the server side, just like you'd do with PXE.

 From the koan side,  specify the name of a Xen profile, which is by 
definition one that has a distro that uses a Xen (domU) kernel.

Koan will talk with the cobbler server to get the right parameters, just 
as they are configured in cobbler.
