Yes, we have it running here (on debian, though), but no virtio-drivers
are used:
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/>
<source file='/appdata/virtual_hosts/images/openbsd_dhcp.img'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='0'/>
</disk>
[snip]
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:51:f8:86'/>
<source bridge='br0'/>
<target dev='vnet2'/>
<model type='e1000'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03'
function='0x0'/>
</interface>
working fine for our purposes (ntp, dns, dhcp).
