What you have to do today is to convert the VMDK to a flat file, e.g. using qemu-img. ok great - installing qemu-devel on my system and running the following command worked great: qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O raw foo.vmdk foo.img i tested this by taking a current .vmdk file from my workstation i do development and copied it over to my new bhyve hypervisor. this may be a good candidate for addition to wiki.freebsd.org/bhyve - i'll go ahead and add this if no one objects. Ideally bhyve would be able to read/write VM file formats directly, perhaps with some sort of filter on top of the existing file backend code. There's plenty of GPL code around for this, but bhyve requires code with a BSD license. thanks for the info on that - i unfortunately that is beyond my bandwidth/techinical capabilities at this point. i'd love to help test code out to do this once that day comes.
