Notes RE: Smartos

I'm trying to figure out how to run SmartOS on kimsufi; ideally redirecting ports towards KVM instances. Don't have much now, but here's some links I'm getting:

SmartOS wiki:

Building NetBSD 7.0RC3 on KVM

Today I tested out building NetBSD 7 on a NetBSD 6 KVM virtual machine.

Here's the command line for starting the vm:
===
qemu-system-x86_64 -smp 4 -cpu host -enable-kvm -m 2048 -vga std -vnc :0 -drive file=$PWD/nbsd/wd01.img,index=0,media=disk,format=raw -net nic,model=e1000 -net user -redir tcp:5550::22 &

here's the post-build summary from build.sh:

Testing and installing it now -90 minutes isn't too shabby for a VM build. The host machine barely felt it, btw; no real noticeable performance hit.

I blitzed the install by following the instructions on the guide, but that doesn't matter that much -I found out what I wanted to know.
