[PLUG] Installing Guest OS in qemu-kvm

[Rick]

Just a random, possibly-relevant, anecdotal piece of info...

I have had trouble booting from Win7-x64 install disks on some (multiple)
less than brand-new systems (never a problem with Win7-x86, though)... it
wouldn't surprise me if a VM had similar problems.

YMMV, HTH, etc.
