Description

Looks like Dragonfly now supports virtio:

https://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/cgi/web-man?command=virtio&section=4

So it should run on GCE?

If somebody could prepare make.bash scripts to script the install to prepare bootable images, we could run it on GCE.

See the netbsd, openbsd, and freebsd directories as examples: https://github.com/golang/build/tree/master/env

(The script must run on Linux and use qemu to do the image creation.)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing scripts in the env directory for netbsd, openbsd, freebsd to understand the structure. Then create a similar script for DragonflyBSD, ensuring it installs the OS and creates a bootable image using qemu. Test the image on GCE.
