Generate xl config files to create DomUs from Dom0
disk_image generates xl config files to start DomUs from Dom0. The files are added to dom0 rootfs partition under /etc/xen for your convenience. They refer to kernels and ramdisks stored on the first partition. It is recommended to mount the first partition under /boot in Dom0 to use them.
