Altroot install of i386 guest on x86 64 server

[root@hydra ~]# wget http://mirrors.nl.eu.kernel.org/fedora/releases/9/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-9-2.noarch.rpm
[root@hydra ~]# mkdir /fedora
[root@hydra ~]# setarch i386 rpm -ivh --nodeps --root /fedora fedora-release-9-2.noarch.rpm

then in /fedora/etc/yum.repos.d:

:s/\$basearch/i386/g 

cat > /fedora/etc/modprobe.conf
alias scsi_hostadapter xenblk
alias eth0 xennet

create fstab

[root@hydra ~]# yum --installroot=/fedora groupinstall base
 install kernel-xen

do we need echo "hwcap 0 nosegneg" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/nosegneg.conf?
