DragonflyBSD on QEMU booted right but can not install!

[Sayed Mohammad Badiezadegan]

Thank you all,

I can install DragonflyBSD again on my created QCOW2 disk file with your
preferred QEMU parameters.
Could you please let me know what QEMU parameters I should use to prevent
this problem from happening again? Thank you.
