As far as I can see,bhyve can't run at the same time with virtualbox.
So,let's change perspective. What about changing the bhyve source code so
that macOS can be virtualized directly in bhyve ?
Below you can see what are the parameters needed to boot and run MacOS
Monterey with virtualbox :
<ExtraData>
<ExtraDataItem
name="VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiBoardProduct"
value="Mac-551B86E5744E2388"/>
<ExtraDataItem
name="VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemProduct"
value="MacBookPro15,1"/>
<ExtraDataItem
name="VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemVersion" value="1.0"/>
<ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/DeviceKey"
value="ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal(c)AppleComputerInc"/>
<ExtraDataItem
name="VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/GetKeyFromRealSMC" value="1"/>
<ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/TM/TSCMode" value="RealTSCOffset"/>
<ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal2/EfiGraphicsResolution"
value="1500x900"/>
</ExtraData>
I already know that bhyve does not support them,but how much work is needed
to give to bhyve the ability to accept them ? Most of them are EFI
related,so I presume that the file uefi-firmware/BHYVE_BHF_CODE.fd should
be patched heavily ? What else ?
