[virt-tools-list] Need virt-install to boot Ubuntu netboot initrd

[Orion Poplawski]

I'm trying to use koan with cobbler to install a Ubuntu 16.04 VM.  koan
invokes virt-install with:

'virt-install', '--connect', 'qemu:///system', '--name', 'vmub16', '--ram',
'2000', '--vcpus', '1', '--graphics', 'spice', '--virt-type', 'kvm',
'--machine', 'pc', '--location',
'http://saga.cora.nwra.com/cblr/links/ubuntu-16.04.6-x86_64/',
'--extra-args=auto-install/enable=true priority=critical
url=http://saga.cora.nwra.com/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/vmub16 ksdevice=link lang=
text ', '--arch', 'x86_64', '--os-variant', 'virtio26', '--disk',
'path=/dev/mapper/vg_nvme-vmub16--disk0,size=35,bus=scsi,format=raw',
'--network', 'bridge=br0,mac=00:16:3e:32:4f:a1', '--wait', '0', '--noautoconsole'

The problem is that virt-install appears to see the install image as a CD
image (which it is since that is what gets imported into cobbler) and boots
the normal CD initrd which does not activate the network and cannot do a
network install.

What magic do I need to do to get it to use the netboot kernel/initrd
location?  --debug output is attached.
