I'm made a scratch build[1] for F16 (as I don't have an F17 host yet), and about to test
w/ the below cmd line:

################
virt-install --connect=qemu:///system \
  --network=bridge:br0\
  --pxe \
  --name f16tbox \
  --disk path=/export/vmimgs/f16tbox1.img,size=10 \
  --ram 2048 \
  --vcpus=2 \
  --check-cpu \
  --hvm \
  --os-variant fedora16
################
(Also, w/ my firewall turned off (iptables seems to block tftp..)
