Yes, I think this is the 2nd best way to install domUs.  I prefer something 
like debootstrap on Debian which lets you make an install to a directory. I 
have a tree which builds an install kernel and a ramdisk and also includes 
changes to the installer.  I can probably find the tree if you want those 
changes...
