For years I used Qemu to run Windows XP under FreeBSD. It worked fine.
A few months ago I saw a message that VirtualBox was now working
correctly under FreeBSD. So I tried to install it and it wouldn't
build. But that's not the actual topic of my question. In the process
of trying to install VirtualBox I noticed that Qemu is not mentioned
in the Handbook. It's not even mentioned under "Other Virtualization
Options". So my actual question is:

Why is Qemu not mentioned in the Handbook?

There is already a PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=127923

Even just a mention with a link to http://wiki.freebsd.org/qemu would
be helpful.

Thanks,


you mean like this?

http://www.freebsdgr.org/handbook-mine/virtualization-host.html

I don't know why it's not on the official one, IIRC it used to be.


This is not the "official" Handbook, but my own patch queue, and yes it
has been in there for too long.
Hopefully I will have a lot more free time in a few weeks, there are
more patches like this that need to get reviewed and committed.
