I'm trying to run a VM with FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE as guest and FreeBSD 15.1-STABLE as host. I'm using sysutils/vm-bhyve.
Here's my config for the FreeBSD guest VM:
I installed the guest OS:
and it worked just fine.
During the installation, I chose ZFS configuration with GPT (BIOS). All other ZFS options were default.
But after finishing the installation, I can't boot into the guest:
Before quitting the installer, I opened the shell in the newly installed system and verified that /boot/lua/loader exists:
What may be the problem?
Here's my config for the FreeBSD guest VM:

Code:
vm install -f freebsd150 FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.imgand it worked just fine.
