Unfortunately I think it gets stuck before ever reaching grub. I tried to catch 
it on the console after a reboot and this is all I see. I never get to the grub 
menu.

Is there a way I can alter the qcow2 image before I create a template?

I thought perhaps I could see the IP it obtains via dhcp, but I see nothing 
coming from that VM which tells me it’s not getting to the point of bringing up 
its interface.

Thanks
