Hi Lloyd
Many thanks for the tips. Been a great help. Been trying a few things out. I'm running Ubuntu 12.4 with OpenStack. Created a FreeBSD 9.0 image that works for KVM. i.e. kvm-img create -f raw freebsd3.img 10G kvm -m 512 -hda freebsd3.img -cdrom FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso -boot d This boots ok. kvm -m 2048 -hda freeBSD.img -boot c (note: did not use virtio mods. Assumed these were just optimized NIC/SCSI drivers. Which I can live without for the time being) Tried to import this freeBSD image into open stack i.e. glance add name="freeBSD1" is_public=true disk_format=raw container_format=bare < freeBSD.img Can't see any console output from openstack when this instance is started. No entries in console.log. Just wondering if I going about this the right way?

Hi Harvey, I have not created any BSD images, but as is no surprise it is fully supported by KVM, http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Guest_Support_Status My searching for "bsd guest kvm" returns a lot of encouraging results, and the content should generally be applicable. http://cssoss.wordpress.com/2011/11/28/bundling-freebsd-image-for-openstack/ still looks good, though you'll want to use the native image API (glance client) for uploading the image. Hope that helps, -- @lloyddewolf http://www.pistoncloud.com/
