Description
I see the following failure.

bash-3.2#  virt-install --name crossbow_domain --ram 1024 -l /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2  -f /dev/dsk/c0d0s5 
Would you like to enable graphics support? (yes or no) yes
 

Starting install...
libvir: Xen Daemon error : POST operation failed: (xend.err )

Answering 'no' to the graphics question makes things work jurst fine (tip courtesey John Levon on xen- xxxxx@xxxxx.org)
Despite the horrible error reporting, this is expected. I'm marking this
as an RFE.
