Well, it needs to boot and mount the filesystem before it can write to it. 
You're saying it does not even boot.

This is my first try too, and I haven't been successfull yet, so I'm not 
sure that I should give advice, but, I don't understand what you mean by 
it does not boot. What boot loader do you use (grub ?) ?
Once you tell it to boot, what happens, does it reboot right away and come 
back to the boot loader, or do you get the "XEN: xxx" mesages, and then it 
stops and reboot ?
Is your kernerl instruction pointing to a valid xen.gz ?
