Actually assuming it's a Linux guest, a third option would be:
(3) Use an external kernel + initrd:
guestfish -a disk.img -i
><fs> download /boot/vmlinuz-... /tmp/kernel
><fs> download /boot/initrd-... /tmp/initrd
qemu -kernel /tmp/kernel -initrd /tmp/initrd -hda disk.img ...

virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines. Boot with a
live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into KVM guests.
