There isn't really an official way to do this, but we will
probably add some explicit support for it to virt-install
or virt-manager down the line.
You can try something like this (obviously this is
dependent on your previous virt-install troubles being
fixed):
virt-install --name somename --ram 256 --vnc \
--hvm --accelerate \
--cdrom /some/existing/file \
--file /path/to/existing/image \
The vnc console should pop up, but if you just pointed to
some useless file for cdrom boot will fail (which is fine).
Just kill virt-install, run 'virsh destroy somename' (this
will hard poweroff the VM), and the VM should be good to
go for future runs.
