Comments/Problems:
I am trying to install via netboot jessie on xenserver, but this is failing with error:
"No root files system is defined".

I believe the problem is that initrd.gz doesn't contain necessary kernel modules for xvd? disks (xenserver virtual disk, eg. xvda), so this disk is not recognized during installation and failing partitioning.

I think the missing one is xen-blk
