Hi I'm newbie in Freebsd, but for me It's not simple to realize an installation of vm in bhyve, I have seen handbook cap 24.6 for bhyve but is not too much clear and also the man but another time It's not the best and then ,
I followed the Jim Salter Guide for installation of VM with Bhyve:
https://klarasystems.com/articles/from-0-to-bhyve-on-freebsd-13-1/
but I have only error 4 but It is useless because is a general error and then sorry but I need your help.
-THE GOAL IS a vm linux INSTALLATION ON BHYVE ZFS DATASET(because it is better for management)
my system is:
- Freebsd 13.2 with ZFS
hardware:
- lenovo laptop
- cpu: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4710MQ
- ram 16 Gb
- ssd samsung 860 evo
Now I' m explaining what I have done:
1- I did Bhyve's INSTALLATION:
2- Dataset creation and configuration:
3- enable Virtualization CONF in /etc/rc.conf:
4- enable Virtualization in /boot/loader.conf:
5- NET – creating switch and tap interface
6- reboot:
shutdown -r now
7- DOWNLOAD ISO OS for VM and copy to dataset path /pz00/Virtus:
8- VM TEMPLATE – conf for new Vm creation:
9- VM CREATE DISK E VM with TEMPLATE:
10- INSTALL from ISO OS:
11- Bhyve ERROR log useless from vm-bhyve.log:
12- Dataset list:
What can I do for "debugging" or what am I wrong???
Thank you in advance

$ sudo pkg install grub2-bhyve vm-bhyve bhyve-firmware tigervnc-viewer 2- Dataset creation and configuration:
Code:
$ sudo zfs create pz00/Virtus
$ sudo zfs set recordsize=64K pz00/Virtus
$ sudo zfs create pz00/Virtus/.templates3- enable Virtualization CONF in /etc/rc.conf:

Code:
$ sudo vm init

# Template from klarasystems, Jim Salter, "From 0 to Bhyve on FreeBSD 13.1"
# Edited
### LOADER ###
# If you want to pull a graphical console, you'll need the UEFI loader,
# no matter what OS you're installing on the guest.
# loader="uefi"
loader="grub"
graphics="yes"
xhci_mouse="yes"
### vCPU ###
# If not specified, cpu=n will give the guest n discrete CPU sockets.
# This is generally OK for Linux or BSD guests, but Windows throws a fit
# due to licensing issues, so we specify CPU topology manually here.
cpu=1
cpu_sockets=1
cpu_cores=2
### MEMORY ###
# Remember, a guest doesn’t need extra RAM for filesystem caching--
# the host handles that for it. 4G is ludicrously low for Windows on hardware,
# but it’s generally more than sufficient for a guest.
memory=2G
# put up to 8 disks on a single ahci controller. This avoids the creation of
# a new “controller” on a new “PCIe slot” for each drive added to the guest.
ahci_device_limit="8"
### NETWORK ###
# e1000 works out-of-the-box, but virtio-net performs better. Virtio support
# is built in on FreeBSD and Linux guests, but Windows guests will need
# to have virtio drivers manually installed.
# network0_type="e1000"
network0_type="virtio-net"
network0_switch="public"
### DISK ###
# bhyve/nvme storage is considerably faster than bhyve/virtio-blk
# storage in my testing, on Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD guests alike.
disk0_type="nvme"
disk0_name="disk0.img"
# This gives the guest a virtual "optical" drive. Specifying disk1_dev=”custom”
# allows us to provide a full path to the ISO.
disk1_type="ahci-cd"
disk1_dev="custom"
disk1_name="/pz00/Virtus/alpine-extended-3.17.6-x86_64.iso"
# windows expects the host to expose localtime by default, not UTC
