oh yes, now it worked. Previously while it is rebooting I stop it to boot qemu direct from the hda image, now I just let it continue rebooting without stopping after the initial installation, and yes, it does boot and able to distinguish between a "raw" image vs a "installed" image as the hda image. I was always afraid that it will attempt to do another reinstallation after seeing the bootloader screen. Counter-intuitive vs other OS :-). Nonetheless, solved.
Thanks Robert for the help.
