Every time I try to install or start a vm got this message: vmctl: vmm bios firmware file not found... on dmesg: vmd[30546]: can't open /etc/firmware/vmm-bios: No such file or directory About CPUs: dmesg | egrep '(VMX/EPT|SVM/RVI)' vmm0 at mainbus0: VMX/EPT vmm0 at mainbus0: VMX/EPT vmm0 at mainbus0: VMX/EPT vmm0 at mainbus0: VMX/EPT vmm0 at mainbus0: VMX/EPT VMD is enabled and running, test the vms via: vmctl start -m 1G -L -i 1 -d ~/Documents/VMM/arch.qcow2 arch and vmctl start -m 1G -L -i 1 -r install74.iso -d disk.qcow2 example Pls someone point me in the right direction,. Thanks in advance. -- Regards P.
