You are perfectly right, merdoz is not running.
I finally managed after one day to install win7. The needed vitrio
driver was indeed virtio-win-1.1.16.vfd, and adding this line to
virt-install did the trick:
--disk path=~/isofiles/virtio-win-1.1.16.vfd,device=floppy

And now a beautiful merdoz7 is finishing installing! 
All this for a win7 VM...pppfffff
