Can you give an exact virt-install > command line that failed for you? Your example below includes equals signs:
Here it is (exact): # virt-install --nographics --name=amboy-1 --hvm --file=/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s6 --mac=00:dd:ee:aa:00:01 --location=/export/nv79b.iso --ram=768 What would you like to use for the virtual CD image? /export/nv79b.iso The problem is that even though I give it the --location=, it still asks for the location, /export/nv79b.iso. virt-install should NOT ask for information already provided on the command line. > > And the install source can't be a directory--it has to be a ISO image. > For HVM installs, you do need to install from ISO yes.

I'll try paravirtual, so I'll have a console at least and can use --location. Thanks.
