Bhyve iso

Wed May 13 15:06:01 UTC 2020

So a script is a list of commands? I looked at petite cloud and wasn't sure what it is. Does it generate a script that is a list of commands?

What does script mean?

Refer to the man pages for each command.   The 10,000 ft view of the script though is the first call to bhyve does the install and the second one restarts the machine after the install.   The way each iteration is done is basically as follows:

1. Stop/destroy any existing running instances of the machine
(Install only 1a. Create the file(s) needed to back the virtual hard drive(s))
2. Set up the networking needed connect the VM into the external LAN with a valid/routable connection
3. Run bhyve
4. Do any additional book keeping needed to allow PetiteCloud (the program that generated the script) to manage the VM instance from it's web interface

What is option for adding another drive? Ahci is under -s but I don't see anything relevant.

Here is an example script for install FreeBSD and then rebooting the VM after the install:

#!/bin/sh

In setting up bhyve today, or at least learning how, and I'm stuck at the part after I create with truncate the device map image. I'm supposed to put an iso with the devicemap.img and then boot from grub. How do I complete this last step with the iso? Could someone please help?

See man page for bhyve but basically what you do is you add an other drive like you do the disks but instead of saying the block device is AHCI-HD or VirtIOBlk you say it is AHCI-CD.
