Once FreeNAS is fully set up, networking via the tap device works great, and I have been able to access the web GUI and ssh into FreeNAS inside BHyve with no problems. However, what I am trying to test is the early stage bootup of our installation CD, before FreeNAS is installed on the disk. When our CD boots up, it presents a text-based dialog menu where the user can select certain items and choose which disk to install on. If I could access the console in BHyve at this point via expect to drive the install menu, that would be very useful. -- Craig _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
