How to test
virt-manager
- Run virt-manager (should autoconnect to qemu)
- Launch the 'New VM' wizard
- Choose the 'PXE' option

- Proceed with through the wizard, using the default suggested values.
- On the final page, use the VM name: test-day-vm
- Ensure there are no network warnings on the final page. Choose the appropriate network device for PXE booting.
- Start the install, and perform the install as you would on a normal machine.
virt-install
An example virt-install invocation looks like
