I am trying to boot using bhyve instead of hardware. So i am looking at constructing vm disk from the output of cross compilation steps as mentioned in wiki. Just skimmed over crochet repo, it is also constructing the vmdisk from freebsd source tree.I am trying to figure out the way to build vm disk in crochet which is compatible bhyve (raw).
