Hi guys,
I can't see virtio in releng/9.1, is there any particular reason
why it
isn't going to be included given that it works reasonable well
(and is
optional anyway, so not likely to be detrimental)?
virtio appeared in stable/9 a bit after 9.1 cut off,
and it is too late now regardless of virtio shape.
Anyway you can installed it from ports.
Ah I see, doesn't really help all the people who can't install it in
KVM
and such though unfortunately, seems silly making them wait even
longer and having to use Linux :)
Yes - it is long overdue and something I plan to fix in the next
month. There have been off-list patches floating around that do
just that.
I also plan to spend my spare time in Dec. to work on FreeBSD
VirtIO improvements/bugs/nags. I've been busy with $JOB and have
been busy finishing up a VMware vmxnet driver.

cheers

Sounds good, FWIW I've been using it for a while and it works rather
well (on 9.0-R), of course this requires that the KVM instance can be
switched to ide mode first (or a custom iso/image uploaded which isn't
always possible)
