Description techtonik 2011-11-10 09:50:09 UTC

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/virtualization-guest.html badly needs ToC and instructions for QEMU.

Fix: 

qemu-img create -f qcow2 freebsd.qcow 2G
wget ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/i386/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/FreeBSD-9.0-RC1-i386-bootonly.iso
qemu -hda freebsd.qcow -cdrom FreeBSD-9.0-RC1-i386-bootonly.iso -boot d -m 256
qemu -hda freebsd.qcow -m 256

(or you can use `qemu-kvm` binary, but that failed for me)

qemu-kvm isn't relevant for FreeBSD since only Linux supports KVM - there _was_ a KVM kernel module for FreeBSD at one point but it wasn't maintained (https://www.freshports.org/emulators/kqemu-kmod/ notes its removal in 2016).

I will upload patch patches on Phabricator after I finish my current work.

2021-11-21: QEMU is deleted in virtualization section. Therefore, this bug report should be closed.

IMAO, it is not bad to add QEMU instruction if there is volunteer for it.
