Force kill a VM?

[Mattias Hedman]

I made a mistake that I knew about, I chose Graphical install when installing Debian 10.2.
Now the install process has ended up in a endless loop, qm stop, shutdown, reload nothing works, gets a timeout on finding the lock.
Is there a way to shot a qm down, like sudo kill -9 <pid>?

Need is the best motivator...
First: ps aux | grep "/usr/bin/kvm -id VMID" to get the PID.
Then, *drumroll*
kill -9 PID

BOOM done down.

OK well I changed the interface to scsi on the VirtIO SCSI controller to get away from Sata on one of the Linux machines, but now of course it tries to boot off of the PXE Boot and not the virt-scsi bus/disk. I can hit esc and choose it, but would prefer to fix it so it boots of disk first like it should.

Please advise.

change the boot device under options->boot order
