Hello.
Premising that I'm using this openbsd version :
marietto# uname -a
OpenBSD marietto.homenet.telecomitalia.it 7.0 GENERIC.MP#211 amd64
I'm trying to install the NixOS Linux distribution as a virtual machine
guest hosted on OpenBSD VMM hypervisor. Below there are the commands that I
have issued :
1) vmctl create -s 50G linux.qcow2
2) nano /etc/vm.conf
vm "linux" {
memory 4G
disk "/home/marietto/Desktop/virt/linux.qcow2"
cdrom
"/home/marietto/Desktop/virt/nixos-plasma5-21.11.334934.8a053bc2255-x86_64-linux.iso"
interface { lladdr "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff" switch "uplink" }
owner marietto
disable
}
switch "uplink" {
interface bridge0
}
3) echo "add em0" > /etc/hostname.bridge0 sh /etc/netstart bridge0
4) rcctl enable vmd
5) rcctl start vmd
6) vmctl start -c linux
and boom,this is what happens :

stage 2's init manually)
r) to reboot immediately
*) to ignore the error and continue
this is the reason of the failure :

I've opened a thread on Reddit and I've got some support,but we haven't
been able to fix the error. You can find it here :
