From vm-bhyve(8): img [-d datastore] [url] List all the cloud- init images currently stored in the $vm_dir/.img directory. This is often useful during guest installation, allowing you to copy and paste the image filename. For example # vm img https://download.freebsd.org/releases/VM-IMAGES/14.3-RELEASE/amd64/Latest/FreeBSD-14.3-RELEASE-amd64-BASIC-CLOUDINIT-zfs.raw.xz # vm img # vm create -s 20G -i FreeBSD-14.3-RELEASE-amd64-BASIC-CLOUDINIT-zfs.raw testvm > Thanks.
