OpenBSD README
+----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Running qemu-ga on OpenBSD +----------------------------------------------------------------------- To use qemu-ga, configure QEMU to present the guest agent interface as an isa-serial port. If you use Proxmox Virtual Environment, you can do this in the "Options" section; edit "QEMU Guest Agent", enable it, tick the box to show advanced settings, and set "Type" to ISA. An rc.d(8) script is provided; as usual you can enable it to start at boot with: # rcctl enable qemu_ga By default the script uses /dev/cua01 for the connection as would be the case where you have also enabled a serial console device. If you have not done this and the Guest Agent interface is on a different port, set that with e.g. # rcctl set qemu_ga flags -t /var/run/qemu-ga \ -f /var/run/qemu-ga/qemu-ga.pid -m isa-serial -p /dev/cua00 Currently only a basic set of commands are available via this interface.
