just create a new skeleton guest with the -m skeleton build method, which resembles the physical system regarding networking and naming, the copy over the entire contents of the physical machine, excluding the /dev and /proc directory to the skeleton dir (cp -a, dump/restore, tar, rsync, ...) starting and stopping the guest should work after that, but you might want to clean up scripts later to avoid a bunch of failures when the new guest tries to mess with the hardware ...
