Sometimes my PCU's are asleep , time to build some linux from source.
Do i need something special configuration for gentoo & vm-bhyve ?

I receive,
vm console gentoo1
Stale lock on nmdm-gentoo1.1B PID=5600... overriding.
Connected
And it hangs.

vm list
NAME DATASTORE LOADER CPU MEMORY VNC AUTOSTART STATE
Bootloader

How to debug ? My main problem is what does not work and why ?
Personally i think i will switch to bare-metal-gentoo.
Giving up.

I analysed more. As boot partition i had fat32 whereas gentoo wanted ext4 as boot partition.

Gentoo (as any other linux) will want ext4 as a boot partition if you using CSM. for UEFI mode, the ESP (which is usually mounted on /boot/efi) should be fat32. Also, the boot partition can be any filesystem as long you have built-in on your kernel or your bootloader supports boot from it (grub supports a vast majority of filesystems and rEFInd can use those drivers).
