I was able to run a more complete set of tests today. I've tested all three
bsds on q35 and with ide and ahci on master (1.2.0-rc0).
Summary: FreeBSD 9.0 installed on the three cases. OpenBSD 5.1 and NetBSD 5.1,
installed with ide on master, but failed on q35 and with ahci on master.
Details
=======
On all tests the default installation was performed, always selecting
a minimum set of packages. Once installation was complete, I rebooted the OS
and checked dmesg.
master with ide
===============
Command-line example:
# ./qemu -hda disks/openbsd-test.img -enable-kvm -m 1G -monitor stdio \
-cdrom /home/lcapitulino/isos/bsd/openbsd-amd64-install51.iso -boot d
Results:
o FreeBSD 9.0: OK
o OpenBSD 5.1: OK
o NetBSD 5.1: OK
master with ahci
================
Command-line example:
# ./qemu -device ahci,id=ahci0 \
-drive
file=disks/freebsd-test.img,if=none,format=raw,id=drive-sata0-0-0 \
-device ide-drive,bus=ahci0.0,drive=drive-sata0-0-0,id=sata0-0-0 \
-enable-kvm -m 1G -monitor stdio \
-cdrom /home/lcapitulino/isos/bsd/FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso
-boot d
Results:
o FreeBSD 9.0: OK
o OpenBSD 5.1: FAILED
Fails while partitioning the disk with the following error:
fdisk: sd0: Device not configured
And then the installation program keeps asking you to partition the disk
again.
o NetBSD 5.1: FAILED
Fails during boot. A little bit after printing:
ahcisata0 port 0: device present, speed: 1.5Gb/s
ahcisata0 port 1: device present, speed: 1.5Gb/s
The kernel "oopses":
fatal integer divide fault in supervisor mode
q35
===
Command-line example:
# ./qemu -hda disks/netbsd-q35.img -enable-kvm -m 1G -monitor stdio \
-M pc_q35 -bios /home/lcapitulino/work/src/q35-seabios/out/bios.bin \
-acpitable
file=/home/lcapitulino/work/src/q35-seabios/out/q35-acpi-dsdt.aml
-cdrom /home/lcapitulino/isos/bsd/netbsd-amd64cd-5.1.iso -boot d
Results:
o FreeBSD 9.0: OK
o OpenBSD 5.1: FAILED (same error as with ahci on master)
o NetBSD 5.1: FAILED (same error as with ahci on master)
