Solved how to input in anaconda shell when centos 7 installation ?

[fff2024g]

Dear all :
i have run freebsd14.1 vm-bhyve as host and create a centos7 vm in this host . question is how to input any thing to the anaconda shell when centos7 loading installation in a new disk ?
please see below picture . i have opened the shell, but can't input anything to it ? why ? thanks
i start the machine with centos 7 iso file . the installation program will install centos7 with anaconda GUI, but i don't want this . i just want to access anaconda shell to install centos7 by manual . thanks. now , i stop there, i can not input any thing in the shell.

Please share the bhyve command that you are using to boot from the centos iso.

I have a page on using vm-bhyve. It mentions RH installs, which work the same. https://srobb.net/vm-bhyve.html

With vm-byve I run sudo vm install Redhat ~/rhel-9-4.-x86_64.boot.iso

I can then run

vncviewer localhost:0

and I see a beginning installation, and can input keystrokes and mouse clicks in the vncviewer window.

My template will be something like
loader="uefi" graphics="yes" xhci_mouse="yes" cpu=1 memory=2048 network0_type="virtio-net" network0_switch="public" disk0_type="virtio-blk" disk0_name="disk0.img"
