All right, I just tried to install FreeBSD 12.1 under vm-bhyve in UEFI mode.=20 Well, the installation was not trivial. At first, in the VNC client, I see the loader menu, then the "Loading kernel..." message, and then a blank screen. Fine, I run "vm console" and install via the serial console, the UEFI screen still being blank. Second, unless I select ZFS, there is no option to install on GPT+UEFI. Fine, let's install on ZFS. Installation complete, reboot... The serial console is available, the UEFI VNC console is available too, though much later :-) Fine, I will experiment with that. Maybe Gnome or xfce will recognize this console as a monitor. Thank you for the hint, Rodney! --=20 Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN 2:5005/49@fidonet http://vas.tomsk.ru/ --lrZ03NoBR/3+SXJZ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJd5R92AAoJEA2k8lmbXsY007YIALdsL7O7/7u3T8c7qbBvUuqJ 1Kj6yDqT4PZr9ZUoakZyztWw2HM4Oq0AZ41qMa1tRu/bwetv0eXb6LJRg0aWfy2v BlZUruoMP1OS8hE3Q0KO9jhsiD8W9y/+XcW8xT751TevEi8O7qkDnHbUCF3Sbldx uZ58XGDE+uDYcRvHzdB7R9nqz2vFrFCwMvnp+zJ8vQuxwud5v7Yw1l5pWAhix6DA t+mL/K2ywf7c+exTdCg7IePumxvHpb7tgEedi8o99UA4OY8ZG1vWwsff/xtCZrX3 KybG0HPxfDNuact+pOYvLOqJOM8pC9trM2uAtXbnLQtMqj+4ae8P4Bzg8qxfJIc= =svV0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --lrZ03NoBR/3+SXJZ--
