the rtty documentation explains how to start it up.

you'll connect guest com1 to the host's /dev/nmdm?B ports, and symlink
rtty's dev entries to the host's /dev/nmdm?A ports. "?" is the name of
the vm.

Just to be sure: There was a UEFI loader in use? fbuf is only for GOP,
so if you boot with CSM, you won't see anything since there's no VGA
emulation. Only UEFI-GOP.

Yes, that was my question. Thanks Harry. I have read too quickly :)

Yes, but I don't see anything in vncviewer console. Can be a problem with 
graphics controller on my laptop (my laptop is the bhyve host)?

Am I wrong if I assume you confused the A/B hard-connected limit of two
interfaces with the possibility to create nmdmN[AB] number of nmdm(4)
devices?
Simply use nmdm1A/B, nmdm2A/B etc.
Not sure if I got the question rigth, answers from others don't go into
that direction...

I haven't had VNC problems besides keymapping. It's done twice and I
haven't found a way or a client to disable keymapping locally on a
session basis.
Have you used the "wait" option for fbuf? Did the vm start to run after
VNC connection attempt?

Hi!

According to nmdm(4) man page only two nullmodem devices can be
created: nmdm0A and nmdm0B (and only nmdm0A can be assigned to one
bhyve guest). Then, how can I access to these bhyve guests?


I use sysutils/vm-bhyve for bhyve management. Using console is a breeze:
---
% sudo vm console
