Xavier Yes, we have it running here (on debian, though), but no virtio-drivers are used: disk type='file' device='disk' driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/ source file='/appdata/virtual_hosts/images/openbsd_dhcp.img'/ target dev='hda' bus='ide'/ address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='0'/ /disk [snip] interface type='bridge' mac address='52:54:00:51:f8:86'/ source bridge='br0'/ target dev='vnet2'/ model type='e1000'/ address type='pci' domain='0x' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/ /interface working fine for our purposes (ntp, dns, dhcp).

I've been testing OpenBSD -current on RHEVM 3.2 which is being cooked right now. jirib
