The only difference between my working IDE config and the broken SCSI is the "if=" parameter.
Here is how I am calling qemu for this virtual machine: /usr/local/kvm/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 -drive file=/dev/mapper/storage-freebsd,if=scsi,boot=on -net nic,model=e1000 -net tap,script=/root/kvmstuff/qemu-ifup -daemonize -vnc :2 \ -boot c -cdrom /root/kvmstuff/7.0-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso Interestingly, I also note that while IDE seems to work fine, restarting the guest by issuing a shutdown -r while logged into freebsd or by sending a ctrl+alt+del to the virtual machine via VNC results in a boot failure. Shutting down the qemu instance and starting it up again allows freebsd to boot properly.
