xrv9k - instructions

[m8rk88]

The xrv9k image comes with an OVA disk1.vmdk and also a .qcow2 image.

Which image should be used?

I can covert the .vmdk into a qcow2 image or just remain the .qcow2 to virtioa.qcow2.


Thank you

use original qcow2 better

Using the 6.2 qcow2 image I get the following result - is there any QEMU specific option required?
