Something like: "bhyve -A -H -P -W -c > 1 -u -l com1,/dev/rtty0..."?? you'll connect guest com1 to the host's /dev/nmdm?B ports, and symlink rtty's dev entries to the host's /dev/nmdm?A ports.

Just to be sure: There was a UEFI loader in use? fbuf is only for GOP, so if you boot with CSM, you won't see anything since there's no VGA emulation. Only UEFI-GOP.

Providing serial consoles to multiple bhyve guests
Hi all, How can I use more than one serial console for several bhyve guests? According to nmdm(4) man page only two nullmodem devices can be created: nmdm0A and nmdm0B (and only nmdm0A can be assigned to one bhyve guest). Then, how can I access to these bhyve guests? I have tried to add vnc channel, but it doesn't works ..:( Thanks. -- Greetings, C. L.
