I'll be happy to try this. Thank you for the pointer. Are you
confident that 'console=hvc0' is the right installation time message
for this? And will I be able to access a CD or DVD image for actual OS
installation with these options?

I'd really prefer to work from 'virsh' than from hand-writing xl
configuration files.When I last did this sort of thing, I worked from
a PXE environment that I controlled and could reserve DHCP settings
based on MAC addresses, and tune PXE to boot from disk by default but
allow users to select a clean re-install of the operating system they
wanted.
