Yes -- you just keep a small local[1] to dom0 disk image to use
for /boot and then everything else can be over iSCSI.  This is analagous
to the (usual) need to set up PXE or similar for a physical machine to
boot from when using a software iSCSI initiator.

[1] It can be a file on an nfs mount for the cheap answer to making
moving the VM easy
