Good.

| testing?
Yes, I guess it should ... I'm not a qemu user, don't even have it
installed (though that is in progress now) so I may need some advice
on how to operate it to get the desired effect...
| There are some difficulties in testing on Hetzner such as
|
| - As their reply suggests, there is no guarantee about which chipset
| your new instances will get. It's a bit random.
Yes, though they did say (from what you posted) that all the AMD cpu
instances have the one which has the problem, so that might not have
been a problem.
| - I doubt whether they'd allow an arbitrary image. They have provided
| NetBSD 9.2 released image on their platform.
But that's a different issue... And as you suggest, testing would
be much easier done locally than exporting ISO images for you to try
anyway. Of course, even if we find something to fix, it isn't likely
to get into their provided image any time soon.
