My clone and your commit are near. Perhaps i cloned before your commit.

Here the report :)
- The man pages use the new syntax about the -disk option.
- The virt-install --help is broken. Have a look to details below [1].
- The -disk option looks to do the job.

In fact, i wanted to use -disk option as described in [2]. With this one,
it's possible to set the devide type to scsi and not only to ide. But with
the last update, the virt-install don't know the scsi value :
ERROR    Error with storage parameters: Unknown device type 'scsi'
