Hi Rudy,

Peter, anyway to get grub-bhyve to automatically load /grub/grub.conf
from a CentOS install?

A more concise boot how-to involves making a .grub file based on the
contents of the grub.conf in your .img file.  The first email shows me
wading through the grub prompt trying to figure out what to do.  I'm not
sure if the SYSFONT is pertinent.  :)

CentOS is grub v1 which isn't quite compatible with grub2 (e.g. linux -> kernel).

grub-bhyve can pick up a config file from the host system: use "-r host" to force that, and the -d option to change the default path for grub.conf. No need to redirect input.

Then, in grub.conf on the host, put in the absolute path with the grub commands e.g.

kernel (hd0,msdos1)/vmlinuz-2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 ro root=/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root rd_NO_LUKS LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rd_NO_MD KEYTABLE=us rd_LVM_LV=VolGroup/lv_swap SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 crashkernel=auto rd_LVM_LV=VolGroup/lv_root rd_NO_DM
initrd (hd0,msdos1)/initramfs-2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64.img
boot

(the console=ttyS0 isn't needed: grub-bhyve auto-inserts that).

later,

Peter.
