Bhyve gets me to Network installation: "some installation files were not found on the boot volume. The next few screens will allow you to configure networking so that they can be downloaded from the internet." This happens after system components.

The handbook only says vmm doesn't it. I got bhyve to start without virtio kernel module as well as the if_tap but with vmm modules.

The handbook section on virtualization (FreeBSD host) is at best awful and misleading your best guide is the bhyve man page (especially the examples there) here is the modules I load for the same set up I recommended you try as a advanced beginners lesson in virtualization and networking.   And an example script for using them:

/boot/loader.conf:

kern.geom.label.disk_ident.enable="0"
kern.geom.label.gptid.enable="0"
opensolaris_load="YES"
zfs_load="YES"
ipfw_load="YES"
ipdivert_load="YES"
linux_load="YES"

In the real /boot/loader.conf the following are commented out because PetiteCloud takes care of them when it loads but unless you want to get into more advanced stuff (like how to install non-standard ports) you should uncomment them.

vmm_load="YES"
if_tap_load="YES"
nmdm_load="YES"

The script to load the file server VM:

#!/bin/sh
#
# Generated by PetiteCloud 0.2.6
#

ifconfig tap12 destroy
ifconfig tap12 create
ifconfig tap12 up
sleep 5
ifconfig bridge0 addm tap12 up

I have re0 but the ip address is under wlan0 with my CenturyLink

In order to use vtnet and bridging (both required for bhyve networking) you need to load the load the virtio kernel module as well as the if_tap and vmm modules (the first one provides the host side of the virtual NIC and the second loads the hypervisor components)

What are your network interfaces called on your machine? You probably have to change igb0 in the example to em0 (an Intel card) or re0 (a Realtek card). Type “ifconfig” to list all the interfaces, and look for ones with an ip address to figure it out.

I'm trying to set up bhyve like the example to learn and when doing the physical interface interface get the result no such file or directory the command is:

ifconfig bridge0 addm igb0 addm tap0

"In this example, the physical interface is igb0"
