Jason and Rodney, thanks, it's useful to know, though for the present I

anual, but not bsdinstall either.
I see. Well, I personally like bsdinstall for simple cases. It's a pity
it cannot automagically create a EFI partition when installing on UFS.
But its ZFS installation routine is neat, and "bsdinstall jail" too.

I wonder if Gnome/KDE would recognize Xvnc as the local graphical
console. If anyone has success stories, please share. Or at least please
give a step-by-stop instruction for run
ler, alongside with the UFS and swap partitions.
bsdinstall can create and populate the EFI partition when
installing on ZFS, but not when installing on UFS.

How do you create the EFI

Does a Gnome/KDE desktop running on a dummy video driver have any value?
Please elaborate.

Does your FreeBSD guest see this vnc console as a video card suitable

What is needed in vm-bhyve is the feature that if ACPI does not stop the

The format of the file path is defined as

/efi/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI and efi\boot\bootaa64.efi on ARM64 architecture.
Nothing about grub*.efi. But only bhyve is confused, VirtualBox is not.

Thank you. I just thought there was a way to sync guests from host,
but if there is none - let it be ntpd.

Colleagues,
Do FreeBSD guests in bhyve need time synchronization (a running ntpd
or periodic ntpdate), or do they inherit accurate time from the host
system?

Also, "vm destroy" does not destroy VMs, if they
separate box with FreeBSD 11 for
UEFI-GOP testing.
Matt and others, thanks for the effort.

th error code 1 and without printing anytning.
I have recompiled bhyve itself and the libvmmapi, maybe it's not
enough? The kernel module? It still remains that from 10.3

Oh, ESXi is free and very nice. My real incentive to switch from
VMware to bhyve is that VMware requres a Microsoft Windows workstation
for management.

at sysutils/vmdktool does not recognize either of
them:
$ vmdktool -i myhost.vmdk
myhost.vmdk: File too small (must be at least 1024 bytes)

Colleagues,
I would like to convert some FreeBSD VMs from VMware to bhyve. Which
is the best way to convert virtual disks from the VMDK to the RAW
format (which I think is the format bhyve uses)?

I'm not sure how to compile something from a different branch without
compiling the whole world. make what?

the universal method?
2. All this fbuf/VNC stuff looks cool, but I don't quite understand. You
can see the guest OS's console in VNC, like the Windows desktop, or
only the UEFI shell, and then you have to access the guest OS via
RDP/ssh etc ?
TIA for explanations.

Dear Colleagues,
Can I enjoy and test all those nice "UEFI-GOP" features on a
10.3-RELEASE system, or do I have to install CURRENT for that?
