I still don't think the HVM BIOS supports booting from SCSI/SATA 
drives. Try using "hda" instead of "sda" (and of course change your 
"hda" for the CDROM to perhaps "hdb").
You don't need a "root" in HVM domains.

You also can't set the IP address in a HVM domain, you need to do 
that inside windows using the control-panel (I find it easiest to use 
DHCP - but that depends on if you have a suitably configured 
DHCP-server or not).
