Use the debian sarge installer. Install standard debian first, get
that going. Then upgrade the kernel to xen. Should just work.

If you can't get vanilla debian going on raid1 md devices, then you
probably shouldn't use it.  In a crisis, if you can't fix it, then you
are in trouble.

It does work:
