Just like a regular one.    See the manpage for additional parameters 
starting with --virt that are only used by virtual machines.
For instance, you can set the amount of RAM the guest will get, as well 
as the amount of disk space -- which is determined by
the actual hardware instead for bare metal.

Incidentally, you may be interested in joining #cobbler on irc.freenode.net.

It's somewhat easier than email for quick questions.
