I have made some significant improvements to my "bhyve-script" at: http://bhyve.org/bhyve-script.tar It now automatically retrieves and installs Ubuntu and Debian plus FreeNAS with one manual step and pfSense with a few manual steps. It also supports nmdm, lpc and tmux consoles/multiplexing.

Re: Booting a disk image with GRUB in BHyve?
Hi Craig, (4) Tried vmrun.sh: vmrun.sh is FreeBSD-only. How can I boot something which uses GRUB bootloader in BHyve? There is a user-space port of grub2 that allows a number of Linux distros to boot (sysutils/grub2-bhyve). However, for Linux distros such as rhel/centos 6.* that use grub-1, it's somewhat of a manual process. Illumos/SmartOS is a different kettle of fish. It's grub-1, but the the o/s itself presents a number of issues that are still being worked through (BIOS calls, timer modes/calibration etc). 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"
Booting a disk image with GRUB in BHyve?
Hi, I tried the following: (1) Downloaded SmartOS USB image from: http://wiki.smartos.org/display/DOC/Download+SmartOS (2) Uncompressed the bz2 file. (3) Ran "file" on the binary: # file smartos-latest-USB.img smartos-latest-USB.img: x86 boot sector; GRand Unified Bootloader, stage1 version 0x3, stage2 address 0x2000, stage2 segment 0x200; partition 1: ID=0xc, starthead 1, startsector 63, 3903732 sectors, extended partition table (last)\011, code offset 0x48 (4) Tried vmrun.sh: sh /usr/share/examples/bhyve/vmrun.sh -d ./smartos-latest-USB.img -m 4G smartos_vm1 I got this error: = Launching virtual machine "smartos_vm1" ... Consoles: userboot FreeBSD/amd64 User boot, Revision 1.1 (rodrigc@pcbsd-4708, Mon Oct 14 14:36:53 PDT 2013) \ can't load 'kernel' Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help. OK How can I boot something which uses GRUB bootloader in BHyve? Thanks. -- ___ 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"
