Ubuntu13.04: install FreeBSD 9.2 64bit within KVM

Here are logs when building FreeBSD9.2 VM within KVM.

I am not familiar with FreeBSD, because I mainly use Linux.

I have built the VM by using virt-manager.

BSD 9.x are not in the OS list, so I specified BSD8.x as OS type.

KVM host

Memoery*1024

disk format: qcow2

OS type: BSD8.x

I used FreeBSD-9.2-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso file to install FreeBSD.

installing BSD

booting.

get things done!

# uname -a FreeBSD bsd01.localdomain 9.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE #0 r255898: Thu Sep 26 22:50:31 UTC 2013     root@bake.isc.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

execute security update

# freebsd-update fetch # freebsd-update install

how can I enable serial console to access to the VM via “virsh console”?

add the following line in /boot/defaults/loader.conf

# tail -1 /boot/defaults/loader.conf console="comconsole"

edit /etc/ttys

edit ttyu0 line like this:

# egrep ttyu0 /etc/ttys #ttyu0  "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   dialup  off secure ttyu0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt100   on  secure

reboot the OS

# reboot

connect to the VM over virsh console

virsh # console freebsd92-vm1 FreeBSD/amd64 (bsd01.localdomain) (ttyu0) login: root Password: Dec  5 05:33:11 bsd01 login: ROOT LOGIN (root) ON ttyu0

virtio drivers are loading.

# dmesg | grep virtio virtio_pci0: <VirtIO PCI Balloon adapter> port 0xc060-0xc07f irq 11 at device 4.0 on pci0 vtballoon0: <VirtIO Balloon Adapter> on virtio_pci0 virtio_pci0: host features: 0x71000002 <EventIdx,RingIndirect,NotifyOnEmpty,StatsVq> virtio_pci0: negotiated features: 0

create one more BSD VM with virt-clone.

at first, shutdown the VM

# shutdown –p now

clone the VM

# virt-clone -o freebsd92-vm1 -n freebsd02-vm2 --file /var/lib/KVM_images/freebsd92-vm2.qcow2 割り当て中 'freebsd92-vm2.qcow2'                    |  20 GB     01:13 'freebsd02-vm2'のクローニングに成功しました

boot the cloned VM

# virsh list --all | grep -i bsd -     freebsd02-vm2                  shut off -     freebsd92-vm1                  shut off # virsh start freebsd02-vm2 –console

change hostname

# head -1 /etc/rc.conf hostname="bsd02.localdomain" # reboot

add users in the wheel group

# egrep wheel /etc/group wheel:*:0:root,hattori
