Hi Steve,
I'm trying to install FreeBSD 8.4 in bhyve, but running into some issues. Sysinstall doesn't seem to like the disk. In the partition editor, I get:Disk name: vtbd1 FDISK Partition Editor DISK Geometry: 0 cyls/0 heads/0 sectors = 0 sectors (0MB) Offset Size(ST) End Name PType Desc Subtype Flags 0 209715200 209715199 - 12 unused 0 Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
The bhyve virtio-block backend doesn't report c/h/s geometry, which is required by the 8.4 installer. You can work around this by using the 'G' command to enter a fake geometry that will give the size of the device.
This is using the 8.4 Release disc1 iso on 11-CURRENT r264056. I'm using virtio-blk for both the cd and hd. Should this be working?
Not cleanly :( I have an 8.4/i386 disk image so I managed to get through it at one point: can't remember what the workarounds were though. Think I did a network install with the minimal ISO.
later, Peter. _______________________________________________ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
