Hi all,

Sorry for top posting but I'm new to the list and came across this
thread while playing with bhyve these days. To apply the patch -

#cp patch-unit3minorfix /usr/ports/emulators/kqemu-kmod/files/

compile and install the module.

I've been running kqemu under current with the attached patch (plain
text below in case the attachment is removed) for a couple of months
now and the module is loaded successfully -

root@demetra:/usr/ports/emulators/kqemu-kmod # dmesg | tail -n 10 | grep kqemu
kqemu version 0x00010300
kqemu: KQEMU installed, max_locked_mem=4120624kB.
root@demetra:/usr/ports/emulators/kqemu-kmod # uname -v
FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #6 r260863: Sun Jan 19 02:57:49 EET 2014

The original commit that broke kqemu-kmod is from March 9th, 2013, so
the patch should be applicable to 10-STABLE too. Reports on
success/failures welcome.

cheers,
Shteryana

P.S. Example on getting a headless VM with vbox -

#VBoxManage createvm --name MyServer --ostype Windows7 --register
#VBoxManage createhd --filename "MyServer.vdi" --size 200000
#VBoxManage storagectl MyServer --name "IDE Controller" --add ide
--controller PIIX3
#VBoxManage storageattach MyServer --storagectl "IDE Controller"
--port 0 --device 1 --type hdd --medium "MyServer.vdi"
#VBoxManage storageattach MyServer --storagectl "IDE Controller"
--port 1 --device 0 --type dvddrive --medium
/home/myserver/install.iso
#VBoxManage modifyvm MyServer --nic1 bridged --cableconnected1 on
--bridgeadapter1 em0 --nictype1 82540EM
#VBoxManage modifyvm MyServer --memory 1024 --acpi on --boot1 dvd
#VBoxHeadless -n -m 5901 -s "MyServer"

The VM is then accessible via vncviewer to the IP of the original
machine port 5901
