Hello @all,

maybe I missed this one, but I can't find the relevant part of the
Documentation pointing out that you have to name you device 'vdX' in order
to use the virtio-bus!

It really took me some time to figure this out!

To use a disk via virtio (at leased while using Windows as a guest), you
have to set

DEV_PREFIX="vd"
TARGET="vda"

in your image template definition.

BTW.: Is virtio faster than SCSI or IDE?
