But on FreeBSD 11.1, while I have managed to set up Windows 10 vm in bhyve using the instructions at https://www.ateamsystems.com/tech-blog/howto-windows-10-bhyve-w-freebsd-11/, those same instructions fail miserably when applied to a graphical Linux vm (tried Centos7 and Mint). I get the following errors when I boot the vm after install: Invalid boot device : cdrom Invalid boot device : hard disk Misc EFI device 1) FreeBSD's own bhyve wiki page seems out of date, oriented only for console-mode Linux vm. Has anyone set up a graphical Linux vm in bhyve, and could someone please tell me how to get around the errors above ? 2) bhyve seems to have no USB redirection support at the moment. Right ? Thanks & Regards, Manish Jainhelp
