Wintermute · Jul 19, 2011

Hi,

I am trying to install FreeBSD 8.2 uder Qemu but the boot screen freezes :

The command is :
kvm -hda freebsd.img -cdrom FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso -boot d -m 512

You are trying to install FreeBSD under KVM, not QEMU, try to use qemu command instead of kvm.

Strange, it works for me both under QEMU and VirtualBox ... it even works under VMware vSphere 4.1 without any problems here.

The same problem for me. How can we fix it?

Qemu-kvm version 0.15; host Ubuntu 11.04 desktop 64 bit; host CPU AMD A8-3850.

Please help.
