You are perfectly right, merdoz is not running. I finally managed after one day to install win7. The needed vitrio driver was indeed virtio-win-1.1.16.vfd, and adding this line to virt-install did the trick: --disk path=~/isofiles/virtio-win-1.1.16.vfd,device=floppy And now a beautiful merdoz7 is finishing installing!
