>Description:
qemu running on FreeBSD 9.0 AMD64 will not boot any of the
standard FreeBSD boot/distro media either x86 or AMD64.
It will boot various GNU/Linux distros and also
mfsbsd-se-9.0-amd64.iso from http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/
How-To-Repeat:
qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom /path/to/freebsd/release/iso
qemu-system-i386 -cdrom /path/to/freebsd/release/iso
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Unknown, but since Martin's ISO boots I suspect there is an error in the
way the official ISO has been produced. I have not tried to boot from a
real cd or dvd. The memstick images also refuse to boot in qemu.
