my bad, beginners mistake :)
But thanks for the tip, links were more then helpful.
and Luigi got to the rescue, so i am all good now.

 
btw, anyone else having the same trouble, run the following command from CL,
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 -hda 20120618-netmap-picobsd-head-amd64.bin (source:luigi)



cheers
Khan

Hi,
the topic of this mailing-list is "Discussions about the use of
FreeBSD-current".
Your question, related to installing something on a Ubuntu Linux, is off-topic.

Regarding PicoBSD, you seem didn't understand what is a PicoBSD image.
Read this for a better understanding of PicoBSD:
http://people.freebsd.org/~picobsd/old/picobsd.html
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=picobsd

You can't install a PicoBSD image on your Ubuntu, but you can run a
PicoBSD image inside a virtual machine from your Ubuntu…
But don't ask the question "How to run a PicoBSD disk image on my
Ubuntu" here, because this question will be off-topic too ;-)

Regards,

Olivier
