I was able to work around this by re-running virt-install  with the same 
arguments
with the exception of the cdrom, instead specifying the cdrom device with the
XP installation disk in it.

The installation proceeded from where it had stopped with the cd request box.

FWIW the cdrom device on my i386 machine is: /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0

Hmm.. looks like my lucks' the same :)
