I'm trying to build Windows 2012 Standard Edition, for now.

I've been using the basic process used for Windows 2008:

wget
http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/virtio-win/latest/images/virtio-win-0.1-59.iso

kvm-img create -f qcow2 WindowsServer2012StandardEdition.qcow2 20G

kvm -m 4096 -cdrom WindowsServer2012Standard+DatacentreEdition.iso -drive
file=WindowsServer2012StandardEdition.qcow2,if=virtio -drive
file=virtio-win-0.1-59.iso,index=3,media=cdrom -net nic,model=virtio -net
user -nographic -vnc :10

Using VNC, go through the installation process until you get to the hard
drive selection. No hard drives show, so use the "Load Driver" dialogue to
browse to E:\WLH\AMD64 for the VirtIO driver. Select the only driver that
shows: "Red Hat VirtIO SCSI controller".

Continue the installation process until completion.

That all works fine, but the NIC isn't operational. As soon as I try to
update the driver through the Device Manager the server crashes. When I did
manage to get through to browse, the drivers in E:\WLH\AMD64 didn't show
anything compatible.

I'm about to restart the process, but instead will be doing the initial
build with IDE and a standard NIC emulation. From there I'll add the
drivers and other useful mods using https://github.com/jordanrinke/openstack

I'm just hoping that someone who's successfully done this can share some
wisdom and shortcut my trial-and-error testing.
