Ok, that's done.

In this case I want a fully virtual system, so I can use tell koan to
use a normal cobbler profile, I think.

Then I start to lose the plot :)  Presumably the domU must already be
configured, otherwise there'd be no way to find out how its hard disk
image is mapped from dom0, amongst other things?

Can I literally do:

  1. Set up cobbler
  2. Create config file for domU
  3. xm create ...
  4. koan ...

or are there other steps I've missed?
