Hi.
Just tested FreeBSD 15.0-ALPHA4 inside Bhyve 1 vCPU and 512MB vRAM.
Installs properly and pkg(8) is bootstrapped after install - good to see
progress in right direction here - thanks.
I also tried to do the same with 1 vCPU and 'vm-bhyve' default 256MB vRAM ...
and that one fails due to lack of RAM.
Options chosen:
- BIOS+GELI
- PKGBASE
- Only Offline Packages
The 256MB vRAM install fails for both '12' and '120':
- vm.pageout_oom_seq: 12
- vm.pageout_oom_seq: 120
One thing that 'bothers' me - is that at first boot installer asks what TERM I
want - I typed 'xterm' there.
I would make 'xterm' the default unless user specifies otherwise ... but maybe
I miss something?
Now - after selecting 'xterm' I selected 'Live System' - then set
'vm.pageout_oom_seq=120' and executed 'bsdinstall' command - but this time -
even as I selected 'xterm' at the beginning - it starts with 'vt100' mode - the
'xterm' (or any other) should be PRESERVED in subsequent tasks/executions.
Also ... after I started that bsdinstall(8) again - this time in 'vt100' mode -
I was unable to change the ZFS options from 'compression=on' to
'compression=zstd' because probably some escape sequences (or ^H) were not
handled properly and bsdinstall(8) complained that 'compression' option
supports only ${LIST_OF_SUPPORTED_COMPRESSION_ALGOS} ...
Hope that helps,
vermaden
