it's easy to make small systems, especially with BusyBox,
unfortunately, it would be really hard to make Xen work without
Python, and that alone takes several megabytes.

maybe the easiest non-NFSroot setup would be: a small initrd sets
iSCSI and mounts a r/o partition with the system.  add tmpfs for /var,
/tmp, and maybe NFS for /home
