When it comes to the partitioning, I select Manually edit partition table. I create(thats the howto speaking vin not me) the following partitions:
* /boot 100 MB (Primary) (Location for the new partition: Beginning) (ext3) (Bootable flag: on <-- important, otherwise your system will not boot!)
* swap 1GB (Logical) (Location for the new partition: Beginning)
* / 2GB (Logical) (Location for the new partition: Beginning) (ext3)
* /vserver the rest (Logical) (Location for the new partition: Beginning) (ext3)
(Side note: You can also install everything in one big partition (as described here: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_sarge), but then you have to keep in mind that the Grub stanzas I describe in this howto are slightly different. For example, when I write that I add
title Xen 3.0.1 / XenLinux 2.6.12-xen0
root (hd0,0)
kernel /xen.gz dom0_mem=65536
module /vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 root=/dev/hda6 ro console=tty0
to /boot/grub/menu.lst then you should probably use
title Xen 3.0.1 / XenLinux 2.6.12-xen0
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=65536
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 root=/dev/hda6 ro console=tty0
NOW THIS IS ME speaking here below is what my menu.lst looks like at the moment
## ## End Default Options ##
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-2-386
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-386 root=/dev/hda2 ro

title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-2-386 (recovery mode)

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-386 root=/dev/hda2 ro single
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-2-386
