   Indeed, using modules=virtio-modules-2.6.26-1-486-di at the install
prompt I was able to complete the installation under KVM using
paravirtualized network/block devices and there was no need to go back
back to main-menu and choose the virtio module manually.

   The CD (actually, a daily Debian netinst image) I was using wasn't a
virtio device, as I'm using it only for installation, having no need to
keep it under the installed system.

   Thanks for your tip and for all our hard work and d-i :-)
