I think where I run afoul is what has and what does not have CI support. What I have done so far is grab https://download.freebsd.org/releases/VM-IMAGES/14.1-RELEASE/amd64/Latest/FreeBSD-14.1-RELEASE-amd64-BASIC-CLOUDINIT-zfs.raw.xz Create the files user-data and meta-data #cloud-config users: - name: root lock_passwd: false hashed_passwd: $6$fhi6IHG7nlYk.... ssh_pwauth: true - name: mike lock_passwd: true ssh_authorized_keys: - ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1.... groups: wheel - name: alice lock_passwd: true passwd: "\*" ssh_authorized_keys: - ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2E.... groups: wheel bootcmd: - service pf enable and meta-data instance-id: freebsd local-hostname: miketestbox Then create the seed.iso genisoimage -output ./seed.iso -volid cidata -joliet -rock .cloud-init/meta-data .cloud-init/user-data and then run ./vmrun.sh -t tap0 -d FreeBSD-14.1-RELEASE-amd64-BASIC-CLOUDINIT-zfs.raw -i -E -I ./seed.iso -H vm0/host vm0 The lock_passwd does not seem to work, but the passwd: value for alice works well enough. But I guess thats where my confusion is. I am making use of nuageinit and not cloudinit here it seems. I guess the step I am missing is download the FreeBSD VM image file. Do *something* to it to make it fully cloudinit capable, and then create my full seed.iso file. What is that something ? Is that the net/clould-init package you mention in https://people.freebsd.org/~dch/posts/2024-07-25-cloudinit/ ? ---Mike
