F5 VE on Proxmox

Just a heads up if you plan to upgrade to Proxmox 8.1:

Qemu changed the default SMBIOS version to 3.0 with 64 Bit, which breaks all Juniper products as they set the system information in SMBIOS at boot.

A workaround is to set "args: -machine q35,smbios-entry-point-type=32" in the config file, then the VM boots again without problems (as the SMBIOS runs in 32 Bit mode).
