@perrfect I just ran thru this not on proxmox but on VM on synology which uses qemu
[2.6.0-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.home.arpa]/usr/local/etc/rc.d: service qemu-guest-agent start
Starting qemu_guest_agent.
[2.6.0-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.home.arpa]/usr/local/etc/rc.d: service qemu-guest-agent status
qemu_guest_agent is running as pid 15340.
[2.6.0-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.home.arpa]/usr/local/etc/rc.d:
I just rebooted the pfsense vm to make sure everything came up on its own

Looks like everything is working here.. I don't currently have a proxmox to play with - but I did have one a while back, and was running both 2.6 and snapshot of 2.7 on it, and don't recall any issues installing the qemu agent.. Was working fine.
edit: I think I read somewhere that you might have to actually stop the VM and then start it vs just a "reboot" for proxmox - been awhile since did it on proxmox, and don't currently have one to test with..
