I think you might have hit a grub limit. For chyves, it is a fork of iohyve so it will be familiar for you. Follow the documentation for a Windows UEFI install. You need the UEFI blobs as well and import them into chyves, see bhyve-firmware in packages. Make sure you adjust the zvol block size in the default config before creating your guest or you will wonder where your storage starts to disappear to.

Presumably not but I=E2=80=99m running into problems = with a larger drive. I am trying to create a 4T Ubuntu machine on a FreeBSD11.1 server using iohyve. There=E2=80=99s plenty of drive space available so it=E2=80=99s not= a drive space issue. I am able to create a 40G machine without any problems but exactly the same commands to create a 4000G machine results in a server that won=E2= =80=99t boot past Grub. Is this an iohyve issue perhaps? Commands used that results in a working Ubuntu server: iohyve create ubu 40G iohyve set ubu loader=3Dgrub-bhyve os=3Ddebian ram=3D40G cpu=3D10 iohyve install ubu ubuntu-16.04.3-server-amd64.iso < ftp://ftp.cuhk.edu.hk/pub/Linux/ubuntu-releases/16.04.3/ ubuntu-16.04.3-server-amd64.iso> Commands used that results in a broken Ubuntu server: iohyve create ubu 4000G iohyve set ubu loader=3Dgrub-bhyve os=3Ddebian ram=3D40G cpu=3D10 iohyve install ubu ubuntu-16.04.3-server-amd64.iso < ftp://ftp.cuhk.edu.hk/pub/Linux/ubuntu-releases/16.04.3/ ubuntu-16.04.3-server-amd64.iso> The screen I get in the console when I boot (iohyve start ubu) the 4T machine is: GNU GRUB version 2.00 Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions. grub> Does anyone have any ideas? I=E2=80=99ve been at this for hours trying diff= erent configurations. LVM is not selected when installing either of the above machines as that seems to cause more problems.
