I've been searching around for something like that and I don't
think it is possible.

I think you would have to add Xen PVH support to something like
iPXE.

    https://ipxe.org/

You would then either boot iPXE directly as PVH kernel or else boot
PVH grub that then has iPXE as one of its options.

Whatever way you look at it nothing boots under PVH (or PV) without
being modified to do so, and I'm not aware of any PXE kernel that
has been modified that way.

That leaves HVM mode which probably has unmodified firmware that can
do PXE or else it can boot iPXE.

I would be very happy to be told I've missed a solution here.

Cheers,
Andy
