I loved the idea of Ram Disk icon/directory on the desktop that allowed me to transparently put any things in system memory. AMIGA is the computer that had the greatest influence on me, as it was the first time I studied the books about Amiga Workbench operating system and learned commands from Amiga Shell terminal. Then I got AMIGA 600 computer (or should I say my parents bought it for me) which served both for playing computer games and also other activities for the first time. It took me about two decades to get to know (by accident) that this Video Computer System was Atari 2600

My first devices/computers/consoles (not at the same time) that I remember were Atari 2600 and Pegasus console which was hardware clone of the Nintendo NES.īack then I did not even knew that it was Atari 2600 as I referred to it as Video Computer System … and I did not even knew any english by then. If you don’t want to type all those GRUB commands, you can simply redirect them to the standard input.Ĭat << EOF | grub-bhyve -m /tmp/post.map -M 512 post After installing the operating system remove hd0 from the mapping file and the image from the bhyve(8) command. Unfortunately explaining the whole bhyve(8) command line is beyond this article. s 4,ahci-hd,/dev/zvol/ztank/bhyve/post \ Now we can set a root device, load an OpenBSD kernel and boot:Īfter that, we can run bhyve virtual machine. We can check what is on it.Īnd this is the partition that contains a kernel. The hd0 (in this example OpenBSD image) contains multiple partitions. Now we need to create a device map for a GRUB. I recommend installing an operating system from the disk image (installXX.fs for OpenBSD and for NetBSD). If you don’t use ZFS for some crazy reason you can also create a raw blob using the truncate(1) command.

I would like to install my new operating system under a ZVOL ztank/bhyve/post. Libexec/ bin/ usr/ bhyve/ compat/ tank/ etc/ boot/ net/ entropy proc/ lib/ root/ sys/ mnt/ rescue/ tmp/ home/ sbin/ media/ jail/ COPYRIGHT var/ dev/ In the case of the grub2-bhyve there is one additional device called “(host)” that is always available and allows the host filesystem to be accessed. If we type the ls command, we will see all the available devices. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions.Īfter running grub-bhyve command we will enter the GRUB loader. For the first word, TAB lists possible commandĬompletions. Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. In bhyve, if the memsize is not specified the default VM is created with 256MB of the memory.

To run grub2-bhyve we need to provide at least the name of the VM. First, let’s install grub2-bhyve on our FreeBSD box:

GRUB supports most of the operating systems with a standard configuration, so exactly the same method can be used to install NetBSD or Ubuntu. The grub2-bhyve allows you to load a kernel using GRUB bootloader. I had numerous problems trying to use it, and this was the day I discovered the grub2-bhyve tool, and I love it! I spent some time trying to set up an OpenBSD using bhyve and UEFI as described here.

Before that day I mainly used FreeBSD and Windows with bhyve. When I was writing a blog post about the process title, I needed a couple of virtual machines with OpenBSD, NetBSD, and Ubuntu. # OpenBSD/NetBSD on FreeBSD using grub2-bhyve
