I've recently installed FreeBSD on my home server to replace my linux install after getting frustrated with some of the newer software. I'll prefix this question by saying I really like FreeBSD much better so far, except for the following. One thing I really liked about my previous system was KVM, Linux's kernel-supported virtualization. It always worked really well. I've been trying VirtualBox, QEMU, and bhyve with FreeBSD as a host, but none of them seem to work anywhere near as well as the KVM on Linux. VirtualBox seemed to have issues with the networking. I couldn't get KQEMU to work (it always gave me 'kqemu support: disabled' in the kqemu console), and QEMU was too slow without it. bhyve looks good, but it seems from what I've read that it only supports FreeBSD and grub-bootable VMs. Is there anyone who has had better success than me at using FreeBSD as a host for virtualization?
