You can't do this with PV. You can always do this with HVM and then switch the vanilla kernel with a PV Xen kernel.

If you are trying to install Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOs or Gentoo, you can always use xen-tools which will do all the work for you. I believe you also have virt-install but I don't know which distributions can be installed using that.
