I don't think so. See "Adding new guests" in docs/devel/testing.rst

The Ubuntu and CentOS build_image methods are a bit more elaborate in
that they build a cloud-image iso which contains a bunch of metadata for
the image to apply on boot-up. The OpenBSD build_image just downloads
the data and uncompresses it.

The defaults in BaseIMG are:

    GUEST_USER = "qemu"
    GUEST_PASS = "qemupass"
    ROOT_PASS = "qemupass"

Cool.
