<snip>

Through a combination of building a machine by hand and using the
autoyast "Reference Profile" tool, and a couple of guesses, I was able
to come up with something that works as expected.  It would be nice if
it were documented, though :-)

This is the bootloader section that does what I wanted:
      <section>
        <append>   resume=/dev/sda2  splash=silent showopts</append>
        <initial>1</initial>
        <initrd>(hd0,0)/boot/initrd-xen</initrd>
        <image>(hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-xen</image>
        <lines_cache_id>0</lines_cache_id>
        <name>XEN</name>
        <original_name>xen</original_name>
        <root>/dev/md0</root>
        <type>xen</type>
        <vga>0x317</vga>
        <xen>(hd0,0)/boot/xen.gz</xen>
        <xen_append>dom0_mem=512M</xen_append>
      </section>
