Generic ISO
Download an ISO file and give the filename to the --cdrom= parameter. This is used instead of --location. A VNC console is available on localhost, port 5999 for you to use.
An example for FreeBSD 10. First download the ISO:
wget http:
Then start virt-install:
virt-install \
--name freebsd10 \
--ram 1024 \
--disk path=./freebsd10.qcow2,size=8 \
--vcpus 1 \
--os-type generic \
--os-variant generic \
--network bridge=virbr0 \
--graphics vnc,port=5999 \
--console pty,target_type=serial \
--cdrom ./FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso \
You need to start up a VNC client to do the installation.
