I show the kernel to be Linux version 2.6.32-431.3.1.el6.x86_64 and the qemm-kv version is showing as QEMU PC emulator version 0.12.1 (qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2). <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> The FreeBSD release I am trying to load on a guest VM is the production release of FreeBSD 10, the ISO grabbed from the master site is FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso, and the virt-install command I am using is:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n FBSD-10_vm1 -r 2048 --vcpus=1 --disk path=/dev/vg_virtual/FBSD-10_vm1 -c /images/FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso --graphics vnc,port=5920,listen=0.0.0.0 --noautoconsole --os-variant freebsd8 --accelerate --network=bridge:br0 --network=bridge:br1<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> I am specifying the freebsd8 flag, as I see no sign of a newer os-variant I can use, so that was the closest to what I was trying to run.
