Re: kern/45671: Current NetBSD/i386 does not install under current qemu

[Andreas Gustafsson <gson%gson.org@localhost>]

Dear gnats,

Today, I attempted to install NetBSD 6.1.1 on a virtual server hosted
by edis.at and based on the Linux KVM virtialization technology.
Booting from the install ISO failed with a panic identical to that
reported in PR 45671.

I assume this means that although the qemu bug causing this has been fixed
for more than a year now ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/897771 ),
there are still versions of KVM in production use that are based on
buggy versions of qemu.  Therefore, it would still be useful for
NetBSD to work around the bug, as it would broaden the range of VPS
hosting options available.
