Fixed; not Xen's fault. I got out ettercap to find out why the installer 
was getting a 404 error when talking to the server. It turned out it was 
asking for /boot/root, which isn't on the SLES-9 SP4 ISO. The ISO is 
bootable, but it's not the install CD... you have to boot on the SP4 CD, 
and when it asks for 'CD1', you have to put in the original SLES 9 
CD(s). D'uh.
6 base CDs, 4 service pack CDs, and 4 SDK CDs, to get a usable system, 
which everyone else has managed to fit on one DVD...
