soga,you may not understand my english,^^,if you can speak Chinese I
think I
can help you more comfortable.
I will try my best to share my experience.
to get a bootable disk with os installed, you could try this command:
wget http://wiki.qemu.org/download/linux-0.2.img.bz2
bunzip2 linux-0.2.img.bz2
kvm-img convert -t directsync linux-0.2.img sheepdog:test
This helps me a lot, especially for your recommended linux-0.2.img,
which need not install os. Thanks very much ;-)

virt-install does not belong to libvirt,but if you use RHEL or CentOS
you
could install this tool from yum:
yum provides */virt-install
or you can get the source from virt-manager.org
Yup, these tools are convenient. We will test our HLFS drivers by these
tools.
[...]
to boot a vm from sheep vol you can use command like:
kvm -hda sheepdog:test -hdb sheepdog:data
We use qemu but kvm to boot a vm.
[...]
because VM's default vnc configuration in libvirt xml just
binding the vnc
port to 127.0.0.1,you can change the default ip address of vnc using virsh:
virsh edit testvm
Yup, vnc ip addr is localhost and vnc port is 5900 ;-)
Thanks for your help.
