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.

For fully virt, I was able to use an etherboot ROM image. Since it just uses
ISOLINUX to load the ROM, make it hdc:cdrom with boot=d and PXE away!
Better yet, the boot=n feature that's been in xen-unstable since December
appeared in rawhide a couple weeks ago. :-) It looks much more elegant as
the ROM is now included with Xen, avoids the ISOLINUX wrapper, and has
some timeouts set properly.
