All it does is stars

I installed it from booting the iso, and it froze when it reached the part that says to press any key to continue and I had to do a power-pull reboot.

At boot all it does is show a starfield screensaver, no response from the keyboard.

the stars are moving and you have no menu?

Yes.

are you able to reboot from the install cd and use the option 5?

I don't know, I already restored it from a backup image.
Prior to doing so I was able to boot the windows partition from another LiveCD.
Could it have been due to the disk being a virtio device?

It would be nice for it to work with them.
There's a niche for a linux-less FOSS bootloader to apply boot delays to Windows guest VMs in KVM.
