Solved Installing FreeBSD With VirtIO

M

markzz989

I use FreeBSD under Linux as a KVM guest. When doing so, I use VirtIO for networking and for storage and usually install without using them, then changing to VirtIO from the installed system by changing the fstab and the rc.conf file. Is there a way to skip the extra steps of having to configure an already installed system to support VirtIO or is there a way to load all the appropriate things into the installer so that I don't have to monkey with adding that after?

Hi, welcome to the forum.
I don't really understand, what do you mean, you install FreeBSD without VirtIO drivers. When you create a new VM, you can configure the storage, network and everything else as VirtIO, because FreeBSD supports it (since 9.0 I guess, but correct me).
So the installation process should be like the same, as for a Linux guest.
 
Turns out I made a stupid mistake when typing in the command for qemu, once that was fixed everything worked fine....
