Hi, Just for the fun of it, I tried my build zfs-system scripts in a bhyve-vm. I use the 10.0-RELEASE iso to get to a shell, config and interface and download my script. Installing does work, and on a regular system we can go and boot into a ZFS-on-Root system. In bhyve I get the following, on reboot: ----- freetest# vmrun.sh -d test10zfs -t tap1 -m 2048 test10zfs Launching virtual machine "test10zfs" ... Consoles: userboot FreeBSD/amd64 User boot, Revision 1.1 (root@freetest.digiware.nl, Tue Feb 11 10:03:58 CET 2014) \ can't load 'kernel' Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help. OK ------ And there is no known way (to me) to educate the loader to understand zfs disks.... Which loader is is used in booting? a special bhyve-loader the bootloader in the boot-partition. It seems this is the first one. If so I'm wondering if the grub-bhyve would be a trick to boot the Root-on-ZFS system.... But then the first question is: where do I find grub-bhyve Any suggestion is welcome... BTW: this is on a AMD system. BTW2: I read that there could be interest for a dedicated opteron-server to do bhyve development on.... I'm more than willing to put my test server in a slot in our datacenter for people to do testing on. ---- CPU: AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1075T Processor (3013.84-MHz K8-class CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x100fa0 Family = 0x10 Model = 0xa Stepping = 0 Features=0x178bfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,HTT> Features2=0x802009<SSE3,MON,CX16,POPCNT> AMDFeatures=0xee500800<SYSCALL,NX,MMX+,FFXSR,Page1GB,RDTSCP,LM,3DNow!+,3DNow!> AMDFeatures2=0x37ff<LAHF,CMP,SVM,ExtAPIC,CR8,ABM,SSE4A,MAS,Prefetch,OSVW,IBS,SKINIT,WDT> --WjW
