I'll give that a spin next, although the disks file I created are RAW
as well. The problem wth using virt-install to create files is that it
takes forever, I've no idea why.

That's what I'm puzzling over. But reading up so far seems to imply
that it acts as a way for qemu/KVM to receive and inject network
traffic into the kernel network stack.

The installer adds that double slash, it was one of the first oddity I
noted. But googling indicates that this was normal and testing it,
indicates that the URL was valid. I suppose it just meant root of root
which is still root :D
Anyway I tried out different variations just to be safe, but whether I
used /Centos56 or Centos56 or Centos56/, the same url comes up. The
installer apparently does some basic sanitization of the parameters.

Those 3 are my most familiar vir* command at this point :D
As for the httpd log you mentioned in another email, that's also one
of the reason I keep suspecting that networking is the issue. There
are no entries in the httpd logs for the guest, but I can see my
external access entries.
