Many thanks. Pointers helped.

The FreeBSD install using default boot loader. Assuming this is the right docs to refer to. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html Switching to grub boot loader within FreeBSD not done before.

Re: [Openstack] Help with VMs
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?

Re: [Openstack] Help with VMs
You definitely need the libvirt modules. Nova has no way to detect whether the modules are installed so it will try to attach via virtio. Note that with grizzly you can use custom glance properties to override the default vif type and disk bus.
