DragonFly on Vultr VM

[Chuck Musser]

Hi, 

I tried using a 6.2 ISO image to install on Vultr (a VM provider) and at
the initial installer step where it asks where it should be installed,
it only provides a number of "vn" devices that have no space. Vultr use
KVM (I am not sure about the whole virtualization stack,but that's what
they list in their knowledge base). Someone had posted the same problem
and the solution was to use pciconf to see what storage devices were
available to the OS and then load the appropriate driver. I couldn't
quite figure out how to proceed but I did the following: 

This host lists a specific Intel 6 port AHCI controller (an 82802IR) for
SATA and a RedHat "Virtio Block Device" for SCSI. I tried to load the
virtio_scsi module with kldload, but it said it was already loaded or
simply compiled in. Same for some other modules that sounded promising,
like sdhci_pci and virtio_blk. At that point I gave up guessing. Is
there a way to figure out what drivers are needed or is the problem
something else? 

Also, I tried some earlier versions: 5.8.3 and 6.0.1 and they had the
same problem. I know I have used Dfly on this provider before, but I am
not sure which version worked.
