-FreeBSD host notes:
-- needs to run as root in order to use /dev/tap* networking (why?)
-(actually RELENG_6 and above now has a sysctl net.link.tap.user_open
-to allow users to use it too. don't forget to adjust device node
-permissions in /etc/devfs.rules.)
-- slirp (usermode networking) is fixed now in cvs, on FreeSBIE 1.0 guests
-you still have to manually do:
- echo nameserver 10.0.2.3 >/etc/resolv.conf
-but i've been told that that's normal. (fixed on FreeSBIE 1.1.)
-and you have to wait a bit for dhclient to do its thing; traffic to
-address 10.0.2.2 is routed to 127.1 on the host.
-- expect timer problems when guest kernel HZ is > hosts,
-for example time sleep 1 takes 49 seconds and booting sleeps for
-minutes at the acd0 probe with a FreeSBIE 1.0 guest, thats because
-its kernel is built with HZ=5000, and FreeBSD's default is 100...
-(no longer a problem with FreeSBIE 1.1.) The linux 2.6 kernel uses
-1000 by default btw. Enabling /dev/rtc doesn't seem to help either
-(not included since it needs a patch to emulators/rtc.)
-- using physical media doesn't work on 4.x hosts (missing DIOCGMEDIASIZE
-ioctl.)
-- the -smb option (smb-export local dir to guest) needs the net/samba
-port/package installed in addition to qemu.
-- RELENG_6 and up guests often crash while accessing the emulated cdrom
-(see kern/84102, http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/84102),
-using a kernel without PREEMPTION has been reported to fix this problem.
-(or do an ftp install instead of installing from the emulated cdrom, and
-then make a new kernel.) [fixed since 6.0-R.]
-- 6.0-RC1 was released with an ed driver that doesn't like qemu's emulated
-RTL8029 nic, this has been fixed in the meantime but if for some reason
-you need to use that version as a guest you can temporarily add the patch
-in this message: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?200510131428.21211.jkim
-(not included in the port since the used VIA VT86C926 PCI ID does not
-really match the emulated nic exactly, it just `happens' to work with
-6.0-RC1's driver.)
