Hi,
This command will let me install debian from the installer, in text
mode, which is very handy:
virt-install --connect "qemu:///system" --name internet
\
--ram 512
\
--os-type linux --os-variant debiansqueeze
\
--virt-type kvm
\
--disk pool=diskpool,device=disk,bus=virtio,size=8,sparse=true,format=qcow2
\
--network network=default,model=virtio
\
--network network=westpublic,model=virtio
\
--network network=eastpublic,model=virtio
\
--nographics
\
-x "DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text console=ttyS0,115200"
\
--location
http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-amd64
I've tried swapping out the --location switch for the --cdrom switch
and specifying locations with the Debian DVD and the netinst .iso
file, and both times the machine boots, but I get nothing at my
prompt. Is there any way to do this with debian?
