Pretty much the obvious: (from memory)
qemu-img create -f qcow2 fc11s1.img 6G
qemu-kvm -m 1200 -hda fc11s1.img -cdrom fc11-install-x86.img -boot d

Works on both fc9 and fc10, x86-32 and x86-64. Add your sound option as desired.

Now... if you meant you are trying to do this with virt-manager and friends, 
rather than use kvm, I really can't offer much help, I've used the tools, but 
I'm more comfortable with command line stuff I have been using for years, since 
qemu was new.
