vm-bhyve version: 1.6-devel
FreeBSD version: 14.3

Hi, I am new to vm-bhyve and trying to install a Debian-based Linux NAS OS named fnos and failed, error shows as below:

Code: 
# vm create -t fnos -s 25G fnos

# vm install -f fnos fnos-0.9.29-1142.iso
Starting fnos
  * found guest in /usr/local/bhyve/fnos
  * booting...
fbuf frame buffer base: 0x211ca7600000 [sz 16777216]

Also failed to connect to it through VNC, the following is my configuration:

Code: 
# cat /usr/local/bhyve/.templates/fnos.conf

loader="uefi"
graphics="yes"
xhci_mouse="yes"
graphics_res="1280x720"
graphics_listen="192.168.31.240"
graphics_port="5900"
graphics_wait="yes"
cpu="1"
memory="4G"
disk0_type="virtio-blk"
disk0_name="disk0.img"
network0_type="virtio-net"
network0_switch="public"

I followed this article to install bhyve and the steps are as below:

Code: 
sysrc cloned_interfaces="bridge0"
sysrc ifconfig_bridge0_name="publicnet0"
sysrc ifconfig_publicnet0="addm igb0 up"
service netif restart
echo 'vmm_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf
kldload vmm
zfs create -o mountpoint=/usr/local/bhyve/ work/bhyve
zfs create -o mountpoint=/usr/local/bhyve/data data/byhve # Optional
pkg install -y tmux vm-bhyve bhyve-firmware grub2-bhyve qemu-tools
service vm enable
sysrc vm_dir="zfs:work/bhyve"
sysrc vm_list=""sysrc vm_delay="5"
vm init
vm set console=tmux
cp /usr/local/share/examples/vm-bhyve/* /usr/local/bhyve/.templates/
vm switch create -t manual -b publicnet0 public
reboot

Code: 
# vm list

NAME  DATASTORE  LOADER  CPU  MEMORY  VNC  AUTO  STATE
fnos  default    uefi    1    4G      -    No    Stopped

Code: 
# vm install -f fnos fnos-0.9.29-1142.iso
Starting fnos
  * found guest in /usr/local/bhyve/fnos
  ! guest appears to be running already

# vm start fnos
Starting fnos
  * found guest in /usr/local/bhyve/fnos
  ! guest appears to be running already

# vm stop fnos
/usr/local/sbin/vm: WARNING: unable to locate process id for fnos

# vm destroy fnos
/usr/local/sbin/vm: WARNING: fnos appears to be running locally (vmm exists)

Failed to destroy this vm, so:

Code: 
# bhyvectl --vm=fnos --destroy

Then, ok to destroy this vm.

Code: 
# vm list
NAME  DATASTORE  LOADER  CPU  MEMORY  VNC  AUTO  STATE
fnos  default    uefi    1    4G      -    No    Stopped

# vm destroy fnos
Are you sure you want to completely remove this virtual machine (y/n)? y

# vm list
NAME  DATASTORE  LOADER  CPU  MEMORY  VNC  AUTO  STATE



Please tell me what's more information needed. Thanks.
 
I might as well spam my own page https://srobb.net/vm-bhyve.html. It's for using vm-byve, which makes it much easier. My Debian uses a template like
loader="uefi" graphics="yes" graphics_res="1920x1080" xhci_mouse="yes" cpu="4" memory="4096" network0_type="virtio-net" network0_switch="public" disk0_type="virtio-blk" disk0_name="disk0.img" bhyve_options="-s 8,hda,play=/dev/dsp" uuid="8bdf3c02-6ab4-11f0-a91a-b0416f14e95f" network0_mac="58:9c:fc:07:db:e6"
The uuid and network are automatically created. I used a simple window manager, openbox, and didn't specifically install a driver but when I install xorg-server (or whatever Debian calls it) it pulled in a whole bunch of stuff.

Using vm-bhyve will make the whole thing easier, in my humble opinion.
 
I don't know this fnos distro, just few hints:
1) "Can't connect via VNC" sometimes means a firewall issue, if you can turn it off to see if this works.
2) Try the same config but with a normal Debian, this way you'll know if the problem is coming from your configuration or your Debian-based OS.

Good luck.
 
scottro In your instructions you write:
I'd use zfs create zroot/vm. The directory path line in /etc/rc.conf would be
vm_dir="zfs:zroot/vm"

(This seems to have changed--in 14.2-RELEASE it's /zroot/vm)
Click to expand...
does that mean it's
Code: 
vm_dir="zfs:/zroot/vm"
or
Code: 
vm_dir="/zroot/vm"
?
 
I see that I have in /etc/rc.conf
Code: 
vm_dir="zroot/vm"
and it works for creating vms. But I don't remember how I got that, I seem to vaguely remember that doing zfs:/zroom/vm didn't work. I should update that part of the page, as I can't remember well enough to answer your, what should be, a simple question.
