hi, while playing with various qemu versions i noticed that qemu-devel now in FreeBSD ports (1.1.0) is slow as hell when booting FreeBSD (take for instance the netmap image at
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/20120608-netmap-picobsd-head-amd64.bin while 0.11.x and 1.1.1 and 1.0.1 seem to work well. I should mention that i had the same exact problem a few months ago with a qemu version compiled on my Mac using macports, which was fixed by manually building one myself from the sources (the working Mac version reports version 1.0.91; unfortunately i do not remember which version it was, but judging from the macports history it could have been either 0.14.1 or 1.0) so i do not think this is a specific problem with FreeBSD. Are you able to reproduce this problem ? Any idea on what could it be ? cheers luigi
