libvirt users - Jan 2013 - Libvirt node is not getting booted through network with KVM too

Hi,

Sorry for putting the images. Posting this question again. 
I am trying to boot my node through network with the following 
configuration (even with KVM it is not getting booted): 

< domain type='kvm'>
  < name>Node-2-3</name>

  < os>
    < type>hvm</type>
    < boot dev='network'/>
    < boot dev='hd'/>
 
  < /os>

  < memory>654321</memory> 
  < vcpu>1</vcpu>
 
 
  < interface type='internal'>
    < source name='test1'/>
    < model type='am79c970a'/>
    < mac address='20:00:00:0F:03:01'/>
  < /interface>

  < interface type='internal'>
    < source name='test2'/>
    < model type='am79c970a'/>
    < mac address='20:00:00:0F:03:02'/>
  < /interface>


    <!--BRIDGE-->
    < interface type='bridge'>
      < source bridge='vboxtap0'/>
      < mac address='20:00:00:0F:03:03'/>
      < model type='am79c973'/>
    < /interface>

< /domain>

But I am getting an error message saying: 
Fatal: Could not read from the boot medium! System halted.

Even my network setting is not getting reflected in the Virtualbox. 

Can you suggest me what is wrong with this configuration. I think to boot 
a node from network we need to define a boot server but where shall I add 
that, I am confused.... 

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. 

Regards, 
Varun

This domain definition makes no sense:

1) you have <boot dev='hd'/> listed, but not <disk> devices.

2) you have 2 <interface type='internal'> devices, which I've
said
before is supported only for vbox domains.

3) all of your interfaces have <model type='am79x97x'/>, but those
devices are not supported by qemu/kvm.

If you want to try a qemu/kvm domain, you really should install
virt-manager and let it create the domain for you, that way you'll be
assured to have all the necessary pieces.

You have no valid device that could be booted from.
