I finally found time to organize my notes into a functional little article [1]. It outlines a simple and straightforward way to run virtual machines using OpenBSDs built-in hypervisor: vmm(4) / vmd(8). I have actually stopped using traditional ISO installs - I got tired of messing with console=ttyS1,115200 boot parameters and hoping things wouldnt hang afterward. Instead, I switched to using officially distributed generic cloud disk images. It boots AlmaLinux (and other distros) smoothly. I have been using this setup for a while now to run various Linux VMs. AlmaLinux boots cleanly, including Debian 12 which just works too.
