Someone's done something with hacking a wrapper around pygrub to do 
something like this, though you might also be interested in "koan" for 
automated installs.
This will do basically the same thing and also pull in your preferences 
for RAM size and disk file size from the profiles -- so you still get 
fully automatic and repeatable
network installs.   Koan is paravirt only at the moment though more virt 
types are next up on my list.
