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)
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-doc->gavin Give gavin this PR as he has a patch for it that adds information.
Putting this in the doceng queue.
batch change: For bugs that match the following - Status Is In progress AND - Untouched since 2018-01-01. AND - Affects Base System OR Documentation DO: Reset to open status. Note: I did a quick pass but if you are getting this email it might be worthwhile to double check to see if this bug ought to be closed.
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.
