Yes, with the same qemu command line as above, except if=scsi. The device's name will be /dev/da0 (SCSI/SATA) instead of /dev/ada0 (IDE). Here's a preseed file I just tested: http://pyro.eu.org/f/8Nwnc2CDTDKwtgi7VhsDrg.cfg partman is always slow, it does lots of probing and syncing; perhaps especially so with this virtual SCSI device; I get lots of these warnings from the kernel but they stop after filesystems are mounted: > lsi_scsi: error: ORDERED queue not implemented GNU/kFreeBSD doesn't support virtio yet (upstream added it in the STABLE-9 branch and looks easy to backport post-wheezy.) VMware also has some special SCSI device that isn't supported. The default SCSI block device in Xen works okay for me. It's even faster if you rebuild with XENHVM kernel config (we may also want to build that as a new kernel flavour post-wheezy).
