Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted. Two ideas:
1. Can you disable graphics? The command line bits to accomplish that 
would be -nographic -vga none. I'm not sure how to do it through libvirt.
2. If you boot again from the install CD, can you send the output of 
"gpart show" from the install shell? I'd be interested to see how the 
partitions have been set up on the disk.
