*********************************************************************************
Post installation procedure for W7 (x64) & Rawhide Libvirt on F14
*********************************************************************************
1. Original setup on IDE device.
2. Shutdown
3. Add fake.qcow2 disk AS "Virtio"
4. Add CDROM virtio-win-1.1.16.iso
5. Load KVM
6. Update broken SCSI Driver ( in  "Device Manager" ) via attached RH's CD
7. Shutdown
8. Remove fake.qcow2 disk
9. Remove IDE boot up device, say /dev/sdb9
10. Add "Virtio" boot up device - same /dev/sdb9
11. Load KVM with Virtio boot up device.

SL 6 allows to load viostor.sys from floppy virtio-win-1.1.16.vfd
during install and detect "Virtio" defined boot up device.
F14 loads driver , but fails to detect boot up "Virtio" device in installation phase.
