Hi Steve, > I'm trying to install FreeBSD 8.4 in bhyve, but running into some issues. > Sysinstall doesn't seem to like the disk.

The bhyve virtio-block backend doesn't report c/h/s geometry, which is required by the 8.4 installer. You can work around this by using the 'G' command to enter a fake geometry that will give the size of the device. > This is using the 8.4 Release disc1 iso on > 11-CURRENT r264056.

Not cleanly :( I have an 8.4/i386 disk image so I managed to get through it at one point: can't remember what the workarounds were though. Think I did a network install with the minimal ISO. later, Peter.
