I believe it is --network network=default but I'm not that used to
virt-install, so your version might work too. I didn't know how to
configure mac-based dhcp leases until now when I checked here:

http://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html#elementsAddress

Example:

<dhcp>
  <range start="192.168.122.100" end="192.168.122.254" />
  <host mac="00:16:3e:77:e2:ed" name="foo.example.com"
ip="192.168.122.10" />
  <host mac="00:16:3e:3e:a9:1a" name="bar.example.com"
ip="192.168.122.11" />
</dhcp>

And I think that should do the trick =)
