The grub-bhyve --help flag isn't 100% clear about it's capabilites, and there seems to be a lack of a man page. But your tips got me in the correct direction. Here is the solution. However, I have now gotten this work work with libvirt also. First, the command was to make: - --root host --directory /var/lib/libvirt/boot/openbsd - --device-map /var/run/libvirt/bhyve/grub_bhyve-guest-device.map - --memory 512 guest Inside of the directory on the bhyve host /var/lib/libvirt/boot/openbsd a file called grub.cfg contains kopenbsd -h com0 -r sd0a (hd0,msdos4)/bsd boot The key thing here is that grub-bhyve has a device called (host) that allows inclusion of files from the host. Following this working, this command line string is added to virsh's xml definition under <boolloader_args> You cannot just add the extra arguments "--root" and "--directory" to bootload_args as it is a complete replacement of the automatically generated arguments that libvirt creates. I however, still rely on the autogenerated device map file that it creates (Note it's in /var/run) Perhaps this is a deficiency that should be addressed in the bootloader compontent of libvirt to make this process a bit easier? - -- Sincerely, William Brown -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJUphGhAAoJEO/EFteBqAmak1AP/0ldLhfFblP5WoRa1V6pN60K 9YR0bgMo1goUPeHrQbKLOMrVD3SleuhGugvjPSQbQz+9FKkeE+REqrwPLuAbDZHS IVeuQsZuHimdBaoSB5XUE/xOjnkBNIZWCmDjiHI8QEdc3o6u5x4lPRL3xbqoTJ7c KTw46cWaLwKsdDzanRpSOqC4q1gNt/TAbYM9Srpf+h1ed3ezTaWaIcSzzHHHXMfR RCjoycHKpblPelXKXIRcZKtS4yT+M5C5N7W+t2c8vSQ9JccSBuxWxv5UQiuszKun Q4TgVsxYWOsH2czb3xncghPhG9kSJxUiQ0hVPRRWXRvy6G0huCjzq1g1DRESfRBy zB3U2bI/Fa1RUrHs24bP9Mulq3PdJyyyMOIDWqEiCUVLnEEawG7XQaHV3j1sfr+J nOHkrNZCpwFDH+3smhWUQOqAD/4OayWgfoBKKufsraQDFDxcIpfL8/kkyqNo4OoU n3ro1QtyN9GHXlWus3vMtLXKl6uPVcoNifboBhnkXmqC9ycNeEjtPIu9Qo1FbDas jSHZKar2IfwT6VfWPaAHlZv8ZPlcQWdDYPJ2d9ldDgZPqWd5gcD2YoAdf+Z2KyVJ Tew/UMBUiwd61qu7qs6hZyUiQbKZocO6QHqN3oo0NYRdTLYkhs9TxZvEFHqzyO/x 3zYUy50AWfVJd63hO6i3 =/Aoa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 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"
