FYI: I finally got FreeBSD 12 booted under qemu/kvm with general Ethernet access (on a MACCHIATObin running linux)

I've only booted linux via a microsd card so far,
a Class A1 SanDisk Ultra. I've not planned on
putting linux on the fast media that I hope
to put FreeBSD on and boot from someday. As
stands, I do not have spare fast media for the
MACCHIATObin.
