I am trying to setup a win7 template. I started with the:

qvm-create --hvm-template win7-x64-template -l green

which seemed to work well enough, then tried to install windows (win7 pro
x64). When I try using:

qvm-start win7-x64-template --cdrom=/home/user/win7.iso

It starts up and then hangs (I've tried leaving it overnight, no progress)
at the glowing starting windows. I then searched around and found two posts
and the github work around of

cp /var/lib/qubes/appvms/win7/win7.conf /tmp

then mod'ing the <model type='xen' vram='16384' /> line to cirrus then
running

qvm-start win7-x64-template --cdrom=/home/user/win7.iso
--custom-config=/tmp/win7.conf

now I get an error:

--> Loading the VM (type = TemplateHVM)...
