NOTE: There seems to be issues with trying to INSTALL to "Target bus = virtio". This seems to speak to the issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...er/+bug/517067, which implies that the problem lies in wrong values in fstab. However, I'm not seeing the disk device at all, unless I use Target bus = ide. This bug talks about the workaround: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...vm/+bug/279754, and basically says to install to ide, and then modify things accordingly and run from virtio.
Hope this helps.
