Any news on this? I would love to see this feature.

[AshleyYakeley]

I would too, but I'm not currently working on it. Do you want to try?

[Svenum]

I would love to, but I dont know how to start....

out of curiosity I looked into this and managed to build a working xml using nixvirt.

• libvirt complains that this machine type doesn't support an ide controller, which is blatantly wrong. we need to set the images via qemu-commandline.
• installer won't boot without -M mac99,usb=on because libvirt doesn't allow removing (and keeps readding) the usb controller. setting model = "none"; doesn't fix this issue.

I've pushed a working configuration here, but ain't really sure if there isn't a way to move out some devices from qemu-commandline. i've done this way because it's more convenient

[Svenum]

I will try it 👍
