Thanks for the pointer, looks interesting. The json files can be committed to QEMU if we go that way. Though I'm not very convinced by the "screen capture" style automation that is used by the *BSD user recipes I've found with google. It would be good if *BSD can have cloud-init or kickstart -alike automation, with those we don't even need Packer. Fam
