Then I see several options:
1) Use an installer that's been tweaked to allow ssh access at a
(very) early stage in the installation process, and shell in.
2) Use a completely automated installer, of the kind used for
unattended installs. I know Red Hat have one; I would expect Debian
to have one, too, but I've never needed to find out about any of
them, so my knowledge is limited in the area.
3) Set up the main filesystem of the guest without using the VM, and
boot into it once it's set up:
a) Set up once using an X system, take a copy of the VM image, and
just blat that into place each time you want a new guest.
b) Use debootstrap and a chroot (for .deb-based systems) to set up
the base filesystem(s) for each guest. Again, there may be
similar systems for .rpm-based distributions, but I don't know
what they might be. Others here may be able to shed some light.
