Debian install over console

[Neil Watson]

Greetings,

I'm trying to install a Debian KVM guest over a console connection.
I think that the key is -x option for virt-install.  I have this:

#!/bin/sh

virt-install -n nwtest --description "Test host" -r 512 -vcpus 1 \
	--os-type=linux --os-variant=debiansqueeze \
	--disk /srv/virtual/nwtest,device=disk,bus=virtio,size=3 \
	--cdrom /srv/virtual/debian-6.0.3-amd64-businesscard.iso \
	--network bridge=br0,model=virtio \
	--nographics --autostart -x "console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8"

I also tried with the last line being:
     --nographics --autostart -x "install console=ttyS0,9600n8p"

Each time I get this:
ettin:/srv/virtual# /home/neil/neil/docs/it/kvm.sh 

Starting install...
Allocating 'nwtest'                                                                            
Creating domain...                                                                             
Connected to domain nwtest
Escape character is ^]

Even after several minutes of waiting a console never appears. What have
I done wrong?

Sincerely,
