However, for Linux distros such > as rhel/centos 6.* that use grub-1, it's somewhat of a manual process. I have made some significant improvements to my "bhyve-script" at: http://bhyve.org/bhyve-script.tar It now automatically retrieves and installs Ubuntu and Debian plus FreeNAS with one manual step and pfSense with a few manual steps. It also supports nmdm, lpc and tmux consoles/multiplexing. Michael
