Yes, that a good idea especially taking into account that I have many variables. I'm trying to migrate Windows 7 on an encrypted volume from VBox to bhyve. The advantage of a floppy drive is that it's drive letter in Windows is always "A:". I believe the ecnryption key is tied to it too. Currently I'm going to decrypt it first to make sure that the migration itself works. Then will follow in particular your advice. The USB contrell pass-trough is a must for me since I need many USB devices in that virtualized Windows.

Thanks, Peter!

In this particular case it doesn't work. I have a floppy image with BitLocker encryption key. I copied that file to an iso image, but Windows doesn't like it.

Re: floppy image in bhyve
Hi Sergey, It there a way to use a floppy image in bhyve? Not currently - there is no floppy controller emulation. Could it be used with one of virtio-blk or ahci-hd? Possibly, though I've not tried it. I need to present it to MS Windows 7 at boot time. If this is for a Windows driver, you could potentially extract the files from the floppy image and then put it on an ISO (or even put it on the repacked install ISO if this is during installation) and use ahci-cd. later, Peter. ___ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
