Re: [Qemu-devel] Q35 FreeBSD install status

    Tried that - looks like FreeBSD expects to use MSI for AHCI devices which 
does not appear to be supported in q35.

No need for that one.

The busses of the q35 ahci controller are named "ide.0" ... "ide.5" (for sata 
ports 1..6).  Just use these with -device ide-{hd,cd}.  Each device needs its 
own bus, master/slave doesn't exist with sata.
