An attempt to configure and run newly created FreeBSD 13.0 VM

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Select "Local install media"
Leave architecture options as they are (ppc64le/pseries)
Specify boot iso (FBSD 13.0 release powerpc-powerpc64-disc1.iso)
Specify OS as 'FreeBSD 13.0'
Set memory to 8129MB
Set CPUs to 4
Enable storage for this virtual machine
Leave 20GB as space for disk
Finish with provided option.
This starts install process which results in "Unable to complete install: 'internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: <time>
 qemu-system-ppc64le: Requested saef cache capability level not supported by KVM Try appending -machine cap-cfpc=broken'

   * What was the outcome of this action?

On Close button click, the machine is destroyed hence there is no outcome.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
i
Newly created and run FBSD 13.0 machine.
