Hello, I want to try the Alpine Linux =E2=80=9CVIRTUAL=E2=80=9D ISO because it = seems everybody is going this way nowadays: = https://fr.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.5/releases/x86_64/alpine-virt-3.5.0-x= 86_64.iso I=E2=80=99m using the =E2=80=9Cvm-bhyve=E2=80=9D scripts and based on = the =E2=80=9Calpine.conf=E2=80=9D template here: = https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve/blob/master/sample-templates/alpine.= conf I made my own template to match the paths for the =E2=80=9CVIRTUAL=E2=80=9D= ISO because they are slightly different: grub_install0=3D"linux /boot/vmlinuz-virtgrsec = initrd=3D/boot/initramfs-virtgrsec alpine_dev=3Dcdrom:iso9660 = modules=3Dloop,squashfs,sd-mod,usb-storage quiet=E2=80=9D grub_install1=3D"initrd /boot/initramfs-virtgrsec=E2=80=9D And it seems to load the linux image but it chokes on the = =E2=80=9Cinitramfs=E2=80=9D with this message: "Initramfs unpacking = failed: junk in compressed archive=E2=80=9D I know it has something to do with the compression of the image, but I = wouldn=E2=80=99t know how to solve it. My intention is to install it using GRUB and after running the install = scripts on the ZFS volume, I will try to have it support EFI according = to this wiki page: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Create_UEFI_boot_USB But I can=E2=80=99t even get it to boot the MBR installer=E2=80=A6 If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great! Thanks, Vincent=
