Hello,
I'm after some general information on the current status/best practises
for Windows on bhyve. Not entirely the correct place for this but then
at the moment no-one else seems to really know the answers. Maybe I can

I appreciate that this isn't really related to th
Hello.
I'd like to run a FreeBSD 11.3 VM under FreeBSD 12.1.
As I'm already using vm-bhyve to run a Windows guest, I think the best (or
possibly only) choice is to use bhyve for the FreeBSD guest too.
I've got the following conf file:
> guest="freebsd"
> loader="bhyveload"
> cpu=1
> memory=512M
it seems to change. My only theory is that it could
possibly be something to do with crossing the old 32bit limit?

Hello,
I'm looking for better ways to check for bhyve support / available features
without trying to scan through dmesg output.
I notice that the following 2 sysctl's appear to be set to 1 as soon as the vmm
module is loaded
hw.vmm.vmx.initialized: 1
hw.vmm.vmx.cap.unrestricted_guest: 1

As mentioned a bridge is the virtual equivalent of a switch. It only really
makes sense to have more than one bridge if you have more than one
interface on your guest(s), and want to connect those interfaces to
separate networks. (Or you want some guests on a different network,
