No Zpool here. I am running FreeBSD 11 UEFI on x86_64. I have set up some non-UEFI guest successfull , Fedora, Centos and Ubuntu. If it the UEFI part using a non-zpool environment that I am trying to wrap my head around. Smilir to Windows, I did install Fedora using UEFI but then could not go to the second stage, i.e. booting into the VM. Hence I do need to understand how to this with my environment using purely bhyve. -- For effective Internet Etiquette and communications read http://catb.org/jargon/html/T/top-post.html, http://idallen.com/topposting.html & http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html _______________________________________________ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
