The image file is manually created by you? I haven't see any 'size' and
'format' parameters in virt-install cmdline, if you haven't
explicitly specify 'format=qcow2' the guest image will default is 'raw'
format, but your image is 'qcow2', in addition, you also
missed 'size' parameter, however, if you're using an existing guest
image file, it's also okay without specifying 'size' parameter,
With libvirt 0.8.3 and later, if reusing an existing qcow2 image, you
need to specify 'format=qcow2'.
I want to know what files are put under the /mnt directory? BTW, I
append 'size' parameter then change local installation to
network installation, you cmdline works well for me.
