bhyveload vm_create: Device not configured
Hi, I'm starting to play around with bhyve, and I'm trying to byhveload a disk image that I otherwise use to netboot some headless servers. When I tried that, I get: root@five:~ # bhyveload -d /home/elars/dst/rootfs test vm_create: Device not configured Google comes up empty with this error message. Any idea what could be causing this? I do have the vmm.ko loaded and the system is running a recent -CURRENT.

I double-checked, and the message actually does show up in demsg even when I kldload from the loader - I just managed to miss it.

Hi Lars, Xen is not an option either, because AFAIK FreeBSD still doesn't have dom0 support. Is there any other virtualization option to look into? VirtualBox should work fine on this h/w. 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

We run FreeBSD 8.x, 9x and CURRENT as VMs on XCP not an option, because for various reasons I need to run FreeBSD as the host OS. But thanks for the suggestion.
