ANSWER:

Answering to my own question.

I found this solution:

  • Create the guest but leave it in paused state: xm domain.cfg -p
  • Connect vncviewer to the guest
  • Unpause the domain: xm unpause domain

This allows to see everything right from the start.

A couple of seconds delay in the BIOS would have been nice, too.
