virtio

Hello all, I have been trying to get xorg display server to work on my freebsd 14, running on qemu (UTM.app), and with virtio_ramfb display attached to it. No matter what xorg configuration I apply, `xinit` either can not find the display or fails on "AddScreen" (using the scfb driver). I am...

Hello. it's again me :) I would like to configure correctly the network interface of qemu because I want to grab the connection to internet while I'm installing freebsd 13 for arm64 on my jetson nano. I tried using several methods,but none worked,so I don't know what could be the problem and Im...

Hi I have as of FreeBSD 13 (at last :D) moved my personal virtualisation server from CentOS/KVM over to FreeBSD/Bhyve. Works like charm for all VMs, no matter if they use grub, uefi or bhyveloader. Performance, VLAN:s and everything else works perfect as well. FreeBSD 13 performance is *r e a...

Hi, When having multiple virtual machines run by bhyve, how does VirtIO works? Do you have a single backend (PCI device) that communicates with all frontends (driver)? I am implementing a custom VirtIO device/driver pair and I am unsure how to handle this case correctly. I couldn't find any...

This is a public "note to self" that I hope will be useful to somebody out there. This evening I wanted to install FreeBSD in a VM under KVM on a Linux VM-host. Also, when I install FreeBSD with ZFS (Read: Always), I like to partition and setup the disks by hand via the "Shell" option in the...

Does anybody have experience with this? If I have a physical disk with Windows 7 installed, can I just use its device node for bhyve? I understand that I'll need to install virtio-net drivers in Windows. What else? The generic VGA adapter doesn't need a driver. Windows may not like the hardware...
