        I have no experience with KVM whatsoever but AFAIK the virtio drivers haven't been ported to FreeBSD. I figure your only option is to run pfSense with full virtualization.

          I am trying to do the same with rtl8139 and e1000 NICs - no issues with the Installer.  I am experiencing other problem which I plan to post separately.
