Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I am not sure how/where the images for opnsense are build, but might it be possible to get a slightly modified version of the nano image (lets call it nano-qemu ) containing the package: os-qemu-guest-agent, this would allow us to convert this image to qcow and spin up vms and fully automate the setup ( such as using opnsense-importer cd0 - to import config from an attached cdrom containing the configs )

qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 OPNsense-23.7-nano-qemu-amd64.img OPNsense-23.7-nano-qemu-amd64.qcow2

Describe the solution you like

i guess some CI is building the images, ideally add a new version of the nano image that contains the os-qemu-guest-agent package
