Guest OS management

I am using GRUB to bootload a barebones VM designed around Intel's virtualization technology. I am able to launch a VM from the VMM. This Loads a very simple guest OS application.How do I load a true guest os, ie Linux, tinycore, etc? Does the guest os image have to fit in a continuous memory region? Can it be broken up to fit in multiple memory regions that are not continuous?

The guest OS does not have to be physically contiguous. EPT/VT-d tables can be setup to take care of guest physical to host physical mapping.
