Hi
I noticed Peter Grehan's commit today that suggests it is now possible
to boot Ubuntu Linux under bhyve. I've tried a few things but I can't
seem to get it to start. The manual pages for bhyve(8) and bhyvectl(8)
seem to be missing at the moment, so I'm not sure how to proceed. From
reading vmrun.sh I see it uses bhyveload which is only capable of
booting FreeBSD. Experiments with using various bhyve command lines
similar to that in vmrun.sh didn't succeed.
# bhyve -AI -H -P -c 1 -m 512 \
-s 0:0,hostbridge \
-s 1:0,virtio-blk,ubuntu-01.vm \
-s 2:0,virtio-blk,ubuntu-13.04-server-amd64.iso \
ubuntu
vm exit[0]
reason VMX
rip 0x0000000000000000
inst_length 0
error 0
exit_reason 33
qualification 0x0000000000000000
So, is it actually possibe to run Linux VMs today, given the userland
tools in -CURRENT? If so, how is it done?
Thanks!
