I'm looking for some guidance with regards to constructing a VM using a
later version of FreeBSD. In reference to a qemu-devel posting:
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-08/msg03329.html
I reran with both 1.6.0.rc3 and 1.6.50 the q35 FreeBSD tests with 9.0, 9.1
and 10-CURRENT using the following command line:
qemu-kvm \
-hda /home/ehv/images/126802.img -enable-kvm -m 1G -monitor stdio -M q35 \
-vnc 127.0.0.1:1<http://127.0.0.1:1> -vga cirrus -monitor stdio \
-cdrom /home/ehv/images/FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso -boot order=d
Note the command line parameter changes necessary for the current versions of
qemu. I'm running this on a Fedora 17/3.4.4 host and I've tried specifying
SeaBios 1.7.3 with -bios and -acpitable command line options. Note also that
both the ide and ahci tests (pc-i440fx-1.6) worked as advertised on this host.
My trouble is that the bios does not see either the HDD image nor the cdrom.
My questions are am I correct to expect the aforementioned q35 test
(specifically the command line) to work? Am I missing something obvious? Is
there something to look?
Any insight will be appreciated. Thanks.
Bret
