Subject: FreeBSD detect_dmesg method is unreliable
Detection failed in FreeBSD 8.x running under KVM. I elected to use the following method instead. grep -qE '(QEMU|VirtIO)' /var/run/dmesg.boot Note that checking /var/run/dmesg.boot is safer because there is no guarantee that the buffer as conveyed by the dmesg command will still contain the relevant strings.
