--- Comment #2 from risner <ris...@stdio.com> --- It seems I had gotten confused by the handbook. https://people.freebsd.org/~blackend/doc/handbook/virtualization-host-bhyve.html Under 21.7.3. Creating a Linux® Guest, it has a line saying "The instance of the virtual machine needs to be destroyed before it can be started again". So I just put that in my script. Many other guides have variations of my script (--destroy before bhyve), so it seemed to be the recommended way to start up guests. I had a number of issues with following the guide including never getting grub-bhyve working. I abandoned grub-bhyve and went with UEFI booting from the UEFI boot file menu. I just test rebooting the host and starting the guest without doing a destroy. All seemed well. So this appears to be a user error or misunderstanding of the handbook. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
