I ran into this problem today, since helsinki ran out of intel servers.

What is the problem with Q35, i mean, is there a plan to support that virtual chipset?
I noticed FreeBSD boots just fine.
Whereas, the 9.2 ISO just does not find disks (and network, as far as I can tell).
And cloning 9.99.95 just panics (syscall (number 5).  while trying cnopen().
Besides - does anyone know how to get the output of the virtual console copied?

I tried that, will see if they will do that (and when).
But that is not really a viable solution since I tended to delete and recreate servers there.
Which is no at least not instanteneously possible when support is needed for every setup.
