NetBSD/amd64 7.0 on kvm
by Emile `iMil' Heitor - 2016-01-29
If you recently tried to install NetBSD 7.0 using Linux KVM you might have encountered the following failure:
This bug have been recently fixed on the 7-branch but the official ISO images are not yet updated, so you’ll have to use NetBSD daily builds mini-ISO which includes Christos fix to bus_dma.c
For the record, here’s the virt-install
command I use:
sudo virt-install
--virt-type kvm
--name korriban
--ram 4096 --disk path=/dev/vms/korriban,bus=virtio
--vcpus 2
--network bridge:br0,model=virtio
--graphics vnc
--accelerate
--noautoconsole
--cdrom /home/imil/iso/boot.iso
--cpu host
Performances are really good, the host is a Debian GNU/Linux 8.0 amd64 running on Online’s Dedibox Classic 2015.
