This is great news. Thanks very much to Peter, Neel and Netapp. I've been using bhyve for a few weeks now and it has made booting kernels and testing various things much easier. I hope eventually to have some time to use bhyve to create a test harness for booting FreeBSD with low memory and various tuning parameters as well as hooking it to tinderbox for testing "the daily build". -Alfred On 1/9/13 12:17 AM, Peter Grehan wrote: > Neel and I would like to move bhyve development from the > projects/bhyve branch into CURRENT.
