FreeBSD 10 On CloudStack + KVM

Motty Cruz, recently reported having issues installing and running FreeBSD on his CloudStack 4.2.1/CentOS 6.5 KVM environment.

My environment is very similar, except that I prefer to run FreeBSD on XenServer instead of KVM. FreeBSD 10 and later versions have XENHVM support possibly making Xen a better platform for FreeBSD.

So does FreeBSD have issues running on Apache CloudStack 4.2.1 and CentOS 6.5 KVM hypervisors?

I used the following ISOs to boot and create FreeBSD templates:

1. FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE amd64 minimal ISO from
   http://ftp2.us.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES -amd64/9.2/FreeBSD-9.2-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso
2. FreeBSD 10-RELEASE amd64 minimal ISO from
   http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-amd64/ 10.0/FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso
3. FreeBSD 10-RELEASE i386 minimal ISO from
   http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/10.0/FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso

FreeBSD 10-RELEASE (32bit and 64bit) and 9.2-RELEASE (64bit) successfully boots and install from the ISO on a 512MB and 1vCPU offering. The OS Type used was either FreeBSD (32bit) or FreeBSD (64bit) depending on the ISO architecture. While I didn’t explicitly test FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE i386 boot and installation, it should work fine too.
