Trying to install freebsd as guest in bhyve:

Code: 
vm install -f freebsd-test /pool/main/Images/FreeBSD-13.0-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso

It not boots from iso. I see only grub prompt: "grub>"

here is log:

Ubuntu image starts ok. What im doing wrong?
 
Use a good template for FreeBSD, FreeBSD doesn't boot via Grub.

Code: 
dice@hosaka:~ % cat /vm/.templates/freebsd-zvol.conf
utctime="yes"
loader="bhyveload"
cpu=1
memory=512M
network0_type="virtio-net"
network0_switch="public"
disk0_type="virtio-blk"
disk0_name="disk0"
disk0_dev="sparse-zvol"
#zfs_dataset_opts="compress=off"
zfs_zvol_opts="volblocksize=8k compress=on"

Set the default, so you don't have to supply -t
Code: 
dice@hosaka:~ % ll /vm/.templates/default.conf
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  17 Jan  6  2018 /vm/.templates/default.conf@ -> freebsd-zvol.conf

Code: 
             -t template   Specifies the template to use from within the
                           $vm_dir/.templates directory.  The .conf suffix is
                           not required.

nvme works well too and was faster. than virtio-blk the last time I measured it.

I gave up on vm. I just use bhyve directly. For example
bhyve -c 4 \
-S \
-s 0,hostbridge \
-s 5,nvme,$PWD/fbsd14.img \
-s 7,passthru,7/0/0 \
-s 8,virtio-9p,sharename=export \
-s 10,e1000,tap4,mac=12:34:fc:0c:17:be \
-s 11,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5904 \
-s 20,xhci,tablet \
-s 31,lpc \
-l com1,/dev/nmdm0B \
-l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd \
-m 4G -H -w \
fbsd14
 
You will need something like this:
kldload virtio_9pfs
mount -t virtfs -o trans=virtio sharename
ls -l /mnt

Assuming you created a directory named export on the host in the dir where you ran bhyve.
 
See my previous message in this thread. There is no official support for it in FreeBSD 14. There is support for it in -current (but with a few differences).
 
Here is my Debian template.


Code: 
.templates cat debian.conf
loader="uefi"
uefi_vars="yes"
graphics="yes"
xhci_mouse="yes"
graphics_res="1280x720"
graphics_listen="0.0.0.0"
graphics_port="5901"
cpu=2
memory=4G
network0_type="virtio-net"
network0_switch="public"
disk0_type="ahci-hd"
disk0_name="debian-disk0.img"
