Well, you've still got it for domain 0, since it uses the real wd and
sd drivers.  I always found it very tricky to get this to work for any
domain but 0 under xen 1.2 anyway, unless netbooting -- and then the
names of the disks don't matter so much.

Maybe I misunderstand?  Please correct me if so.
