Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: virt-manager
1) Ubuntu 8.04 x86_64
2) virt-manager 0.5.3-0-ubuntu10 package.
3) The wizard for creating a new virtual machine should allow user to
review and change the hardware setup of the machine before it is
actually booted.
4) The wizard for creating a new virtual machine in virt-manager accepts
only cd-rom (as a boot device) and a single hard disk and after clicking
Finish it boots immediately.
This makes impossible to have two disk images (i.e. one for the system
and a separate swap image or whatever else).
A workaround is to destroy the currently booted virtual machine and edit
the hardware details (i.e. add again the CD-ROM ISO image to boot from
and the other disk). After installation of the new system to the virtual
machine from the CD-ROM, the boot drive needs to be changed to a hard
disk and/or the CD-ROM be manually removed.
This bug is somewhat related to bug #227533 since it discloses that the
wizard should allow the user to modify freely the hardware and boot
device before actually booting.
