okay made the changes to xvba & xvbb, went forward with the rhel5 install, it 
wants to partition up the drives. which I let it do in its default way - which 
means I have a /boot, pv1, pv2.
From the host machine how can I get to /boot for the vmlinux and the initrd?
I am presuming I need these to insert into my xen config file !
