Hi Harvey,


I have not created any BSD images, but as is no surprise it is fully
supported by KVM, http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Guest_Support_Status

My searching for "bsd guest kvm" returns a lot of encouraging results, and
the content should generally be applicable.

http://cssoss.wordpress.com/2011/11/28/bundling-freebsd-image-for-openstack/still
looks good, though you'll want to use the native image API (glance
client) for uploading the image.



Hope that helps,
