The author shows how to install Windows on a Solaris system.

2. Use virt-install(1M) to install the windows domain. 

      # export DISPLAY=:0.0
Then you need enable your Xserver access from localhost 
    # virt-install -n winxp --hvm -r 512 --vnc -f /export/winxp/winxp-disk.raw  
       -s 10  -c /windows/media.iso
    # vncviewer :0
This will create a fully virtualized guest domain named as "winxp", 512M memory, 10G disk space. And then start to launch the installer in the installation CD image. With virt-install(1M), you DON NOT need qemu-img utility (get it from blastwave) to create the domain disk file. Refer to "Using virt-install to Install a Domain"
