This is the package message:

# pkg install qemu-guest-agent
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Modify your `/etc/rc.conf` by adding these settings

qemu_guest_agent_enable=3D"YES"
qemu_guest_agent_flags=3D"-d -v -l /var/log/qemu-ga.log"

and run
# service qemu-guest-agent start

For detailed help use `qemu-ga -h`

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

=E2=80=A6to which my first reaction is: if that's the correct value to use,=
 why saying
it in the message instead of actually using it as a default in the rc.d?

Turns out the comment in the rc.d explains better: the default is fine with
only "-d", you can add "-v -l =E2=80=A6" if you want more logs; which makes=
 sense to
me, but in that case I'd suggest re-wording the pkg-message (or removing it
altogether, how to enable and start a service is pretty common information
IMHO, nothing specific to this package).
