I was able to get a bootable system fairly quickly.  I wrote up three
bugs that resulted from directly following the instructions.  The grub
setup is still a few steps away from a bootable system with a menu.
You need to do a:

cp /boot/grub/i386-pc/* /boot/grub

before the grub commands and still need to copy menu.lst.smgl to
menu.lst and edit for the system.

Adding a user as described in the instructions results in an error:
useradd: cannot create directory /home/users/george

I think should be useradd -m USERNAME -d /home/USERNAME

The first network device is still coming up on eth5.  I thought this
one was fixed and due to the xen chroot.

Overall the process is getting much smoother.  I like having the prompt
for which step I am on and how many are remaining.
