Dear Colleagues, What's the minimum software kit to run a couple of FreeBSD guests (serial console, no graphics needed) on a Debian 10 host? I don't need any fancy management GUI like that of VirtualBox, would just prefer some minimalistic hypervisor managed from the CLI. The ability to access the host's raw disk devices from the guest would be a great advantage. Please don't just say "kvm" or any other single word but give a pointer to a good step-by-step document.
I think qemu is fast and simple, $ qemu-img create freebsd.img 4G$ qemu-system-x86_64 -hda freebsd.img -cdrom FreeBSD-12.2-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso -boot d -m 512
do the installation and then try boot it with $ qemu-system-x86_64 -hda freebsd.img -m 512 -- Email : Robbi Nespu <robbinespu AT SPAMFREE gmail DOT com> PGP fingerprint : D311 B5FF EEE6 0BE8 9C91 FA9E 0C81 FA30 3B3A 80BA PGP key : https://keybase.io/robbinespu/pgp_keys.asc
