I guess you checked the box "Customise configuration before install" in step 4 of 4 and you see "Begin Installation" and "Cancel Installation" buttons in the window that allows you to configure the virtual hardware. These button labels are wrong in "import" mode. They should read "Start VM" and "Cancel VM creation" respectively. If you need to create the VM but do not want it to start booting anything from the VM's disks, consider temporarily ticking the box "Readonly" of each virtual disk (+"Apply" button), start the VM, choose Virtual Machine -> Shut Down -> Force Off and remove the tick(s) from "Readonly" again. Alternatively, or as an additional safety net, add a bootable CD/DVD to the VM and make it the first boot option. @virt-manager developers: As "import" mode does not involve installation, those button labels need to change depending on the mode. If this is difficult without duplicating the widget a simple workaround may be to use labels * "Begin Installation / Start VM" and * "Cancel Installation and/or VM Creation" in this window. If it is not difficult to modify the window depending on the creation mode, it would be nice to also get a button "Create VM without starting it" in "import" mode.
