Hi I work on FreeBSD's hypervisor, bhyve. We have been using a modified version of grub 2.02 (a.k.a. grub2-bhyve [1]) to load Linux guests into the virtual machine's memory. Recently, I've needed a more up to date version of grub with support for things like XFS. Instead of porting the existing changes to a later version of grub, I wanted to find out how to approach this such that the changes might be accepted upstream.
grub2-bhyve leverages grub-emu and adds compile-time #ifdef's to parse new command line options and do back-end things like create a virtual machine and map memory. Looking at the documentation, my guess is the right way to do this is by adding a new platform for bhyve. I started down this path by following the Porting section of the developer's manual [2], but am running into issues and wanted to check if this was the right approach. If so, is the emu platform a good example to reference, or should I be modeling this after the qemu platform as bhyve is conceptually similar to qemu? --chuck [1] https://github.com/grehan-freebsd/grub2-bhyve [2] https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub-dev/grub-dev.html#Porting _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
