NetBSD 7.1 amd64 boot failure on KVM

2017-05-20 Thread Andrei M.
Hello all, I've encountered a problem with running NetBSD 7.1 as guest on KVM/qemu as experienced previously with 7.0: https://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-users/2015/12/31/msg017550.html The output is practically the same, even the same values for registers: vmt0 at cpu0: Unknown vmware: open

NVMM not working, NetBSD 9x amd64
