https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D274172 Bug ID: 274172 Summary: 14.0-BETA4 Release announcement (aarch64 qemu firmware) Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any URL: https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-stable/2023 -September/001517.html OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Books & Articles Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: dhorn2000@gmail.com CC: gjb@FreeBSD.org, imp@bsdimp.com 14.0 BETA3/BETA4 Release announcement include the following text: (which is= now OBE) OBE>Note regarding arm64/aarch64 virtual machine images: a modified QEMU EFI OBE>loader file is needed for qemu-system-aarch64 to be able to boot the OBE>virtual machine images. See this page for more information: OBE> OBE> https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm64/QEMU >>To boot the VM image, run: >> >> % qemu-system-aarch64 -m 4096M -cpu cortex-a57 -M virt \ >> -bios QEMU_EFI.fd -serial telnet::4444,server -nographic \ >> -drive if=3Dnone,file=3DVMDISK,id=3Dhd0 \ >> -device virtio-blk-device,drive=3Dhd0 \ >> -device virtio-net-device,netdev=3Dnet0 \ >> -netdev user,id=3Dnet0 >> >>Be sure to replace "VMDISK" with the path to the virtual machine image. Probably best to remove the lines I marked as OBE, and update the single li= ne that references the bios filename to the new default UEFI aarch64 firmware = of `edk2-aarch64-code.fd` (included with qemu port, so no download needed).=20 Committer can decide if leaving the link to the wiki up in the announcement= is still desirable. - -bios QEMU_EFI.fd -serial telnet::4444,server -nographic \ + -bios edk2-aarch64-code.fd -serial telnet::4444,server -nographic \ I'm going to see if I can help create some Handbook documentation for Qemu = in the future as recommended by Warner, but for now I recommend we at least ma= ke the release announcement accurate. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
