Embarassing: I just set out to try it on my laptop, and found that I had
a working config which I wrote on 9th August but forgot about!
The main difference is that it uses a vnd of the iso image rather than
access it as a file...

name = "dfly"
builder="hvm"
vcpus = 2
memory = 512
vif = [ 'bridge=bridge0' ]
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/mapper/vg0-clang,hda,w', 'phy:/dev/vnd0a,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
boot = "dc"
serial = 'pty'

and set boot_serial, set console=comserial at the loader prompt...

Not all perfect, but that looks more like qemu:
