Hi All, I followed this https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm/crossbuild. buildworld, buildkernel, distribution, installkernel (TARGET=arm and arch= armv6) went fine. I have compiled stuff at /home/username/nfsroot. Instead of writing into sdcard or USB, i want to create bootable vm disk to boot in bhyve. To create i tried mkimg sudo mkimg -s gpt -b nfsroot/boot/mbr -p freebsd-boot:=nfsroot/boot/gptboot -p freebsd-ufs:=root-file-system.ufs -p freebsd-swap::1G -o fbsd-2.img Here i created root filesystem using makefs which provided the rootfilesystem.ufs. Then i verified those contents by mounting which looks as it is in /nfsroot. But mkimg did not create boot partition properly. Because when i tried to mount those partition it threw I/O error and when i was trying to boot using beehive it says "kernel not found". Is there any script or list of commands to accomplish this task ? Thanks, Balaji
