Just a FYI.  I'm successfully running FreeBSD 10.0-RC5 in a kvm VM
(under Ubuntu, so probably a different version of KVM).  Going to
upgrade to -RELEASE today (downloading image now).

I don't know what the freebsd8 variant flag does in virt-install, but
I don't bother with it.  I just create the KVM definition as a clone
of a previous one using 'virsh define' with an .xml file.

The following is an xml dump of my port building VM with the VM
stopped:

When making a clone I just remove the '<uuid', '<mac' lines which will
get added back with different values.
