["Edward C. Lang" <edlang@edlang.org>]

Package: kfreebsd-image-9-amd64
Version: 9.0-6
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Please include the virtio-kmod module:

http://www.freshports.org/emulators/virtio-kmod/
http://people.freebsd.org/~kuriyama/virtio/

This would be useful for running Debian GNU/kFreeBSD under KVM and other
hypervisors.

There are many instances of people complaining about disk and network I/O
when running FreeBSD in KVM without this module. One such page:
