Hi Guys,

for a while now I am hitting a wall while trying to set up an Arch Linux VM. I followed many guides to install this in vm bhyve, but no matter what i do i hit the brick wall at:

Code: 
/usr/bin/ash: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

and subsequently hitting a panic
Code:

It just dont want to boot. I tried with a generic uefi vm as well, but hit other problems as well. Anyone lately did succeed to create an arch vm?

For Arch, using vm-bhyve, rather than bhyve, my config that worked is

loader="uefi"
graphics="yes"
graphics_res="1920x1080"
xhci_mouse="yes"
cpu=1
memory="4096"
network0_type="virtio-net"
network0_switch="public"
disk0_type="virtio-blk
"disk0_name="disk0.img"
uuid="4cce4348-48aa-11f0-b119-b0416f14e95f"
network0_mac="58:9c:fc:0e:ff:66"

uuid and net mac are assigned arbitrarily by vm-bhyve. If you want sound you can add
Code: 
bhyve_options="-s 8,hda,play=/dev/dsp"

One can also have more cpus and more (or less) memory.

It is taken from a centos7 template that I use for most Linux vms I make with a gui.

Do you have links please, thanks.

Agree with scottro, bhyve is powerful and sysutils/vm-bhyve makes it more friendly, if you can deal with bhyve options on your own it's fine but if you are struggling sysutils/vm-bhyve is an alternative, that's what I do personally.
I've just finished an Arch Linux installation to test and I can confirm that it works (it's been years since I install an archlinux and it feels it's never been easier than today they improved their install script a lot which is a good thing), the template I used is mostly the same one showed by scottro, except for disk_type that is replaced by nvme because it supposed to be quicker.
Other than that, I pick net/tigervnc-viewer to get into the VM and that's basically it.
 
I add that the following bhyve command line works for booting the installation media:

bhyve -AHP -c 1 -m 2G -s 0,hostbridge -s 1,nvme,/data/kvm/vm/arch/disk -s 2,ahci-cd,/data/kvm/vm/arch/arch-2025.iso -s 31,lpc -s 29,xhci,tablet -s 30,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5900 -s 3,virtio-net,tapARCH -l bootrom,/data/kvm/BHYVE_UEFI.fd,/data/kvm/vm/arch/UEFI_VARS.fd arch

/data/kvm/vm/arch/disk is just a file (truncate(1), 10 GiB).
tapARCH is a tap(4), member of a bridge(4) where my host ethernet interface is equally a member.
/data/kvm/BHYVE_UEFI.fd is a copy of the UEFI bhyve firmware of sysutils/edk2.
/data/kvm/vm/arch/UEFI_VARS.fd is a copy of the UEFI vars you find in sysutils/edk2.
 
I got it working finally with vm bhyve. Reading the logfile just helps I noticed. I forgot to install bhyve-firmware...

Thanks guys arch is now up and running.
