That last piece should be similar to console=/dev/ttyS0 . You are
telling the guest to use the emulated serial device it sees, not a PTY
on the host (which it can't access directly anyways). Google 'linux
serial console' for more info
(FYI, virsh and virt-install questions are better directed to
libvirt-list@redhat.com or virt-tools-list@redhat.com respectively).
