# Attention:
#  * key and value must not be separated by whitespaces.
#  * There must be no whitespaces at the end of lines.
#  * NICs are placed in the PCI slots before 29, they must
#    be avaliable for startvm. For example, 2 NICs require
#    slot 28 and 27 to be available.
#  * PCI slots 0, 29, 30 and 31 must be available for startvm.
#  * startvm configures the com1 port, framebuffer and NICs.
#  * The VM is always named after its config directory.
