Hi Dennis,
Bhyve newbie trying to get it to start.
No problems.
I am getting the FreeBSD loader but it then exits when the loader goes to boot. I've also found "kldload nmdm" does not create any entries in /dev. Isn't it suppose to? I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
nmdm(4) is a cloneable device so device nodes won't show up until they're opened.
Also, vmrun.sh is hard-coded to use stdio for output. You'll have to modify the script to get bhyveload (the -c option) and bhyve (the "-l com1," option) to use an nmdm device.
System: Elmer# uname -a FreeBSD Elmer 10.0-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 10.0-PRERELEASE #0 r259838: Tue Dec 24 15:21:17 MST 2013 root@Elmer:/disk-2/obj/usr/src/sys/PENFORD-FreeBSD10-amd64 amd64 I am executing the following instructions: kldload nmdm kldload vmm kldload if_tap ifconfig tap0 create ./vmrun.sh -c 4 -d /disk-2/VMs/nms.img -i -I /disk-3/tmp/FreeBSD-10.0-RC2-amd64-disc1.iso -m 2G -t /dev/tap0 nms FreeBSD clang version 3.3 (tags/RELEASE_33/final 183502) 20130610 CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5540 @ 2.53GHz (2533.47-MHz K8-class CPU)
This is a Nehalem Xeon - it doesn't have the VT-x feature known as "unrestricted guest" aka 16/32-bit emulation which arrived in Westmere. This won't allow FreeBSD to spin up APs (16-bit emulation required) or to run Linux via grub-bhyve (32-bit paging-disabled emulation). You'll be restricted to single CPU FreeBSD guests on this model :(
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"
