yes, I partitioned my disk in
/dev/hda1 -> xen hypervisor
/dev/hda2..6 -> xen virtual machines

and I'd like to install my vm directly on the physical partitions.
It should be more performant, if I am not wrong... ;-)

I am trying to install on a lopp back, then copying on the physical
partition. It should work, but for the future it could be faster to
directly install on the physical disk.

Thank you in advance
