No it doesn't. Look at your file-based vbd config again, and you'll
find there's a BIG difference : sda vs sda1.

Your config should be something like

disk = [ 'phy:/dev/VG1/web1,sda,w' ]

mapping a file or dom0 LV as domU partition (e.g. sda1 or xvda1) won't
work if you're using RHEL/Centos installer (i.e. anaconda). You have
to map it as domU disk (e.g. sda or xvda).
