--0000000000008d22b50602b6673d Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello all. I am new to bhyve and have read a lot about it, so I decided to try creating a few VMs. I found a HOWTO that is detailed and which appears to be the easiest to follow: https://klarasystems.com/articles/from-0-to-bhyve-on-freebsd-13-1/ The only differences are that I did not install a fresh FreeBSD-13 server as I already had one, and I am not using ZFS on my server (host). I have gotten stuck midway and cannot figure out why: I cannot boot the VMs I create. I have tried creating a Windows2019 as well as a Debian12 VM, but both don't boot. vm-public: flags=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mt= u 1492 ether ce:6f:18:51:d4:51 id 00:00:00:00:00:00 priority 32768 hellotime 2 fwddelay 15 maxage 20 holdcnt 6 proto rstp maxaddr 2000 timeout 1200 root id 00:00:00:00:00:00 priority 32768 ifcost 0 port 0 member: em1 flags=3D143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP> ifmaxaddr 0 port 2 priority 128 path cost 20000 groups: bridge vm-switch viid-4c918@ nd6 options=3D9<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED> tap0: flags=3D8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1492 description: vmnet/debian12/0/public options=3D80000<LINKSTATE> ether 58:9c:fc:10:ff:ed inet6 fe80::5a9c:fcff:fe10:ffed%tap0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6 groups: tap vm-port media: Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier nd6 options=3D21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> 1.
