Is there a tutorial on how to install a non-systemd distro into linuxlator, linux emulator layer ?
E.g. a cent-os or debian-derivative ? Or better artix linux which is a non-systemd arch-derivative ?
 
artix linux only seems to have iso downloads

for a jail or linuxulator chroot i think you need to use a mini-root.tar.gz
and you cant use an iso image to install a linux distro

im sure someone will correct me if im wrong
 
I remember that some years ago someone created a tutorial to install Devuan on the Linuxulator without jails,but I didn't find it.
 
i tried installing arch in a jail
but i kept getting gpg errors with the arch linux keyring

so i couldnt install anything
also arch uses systemd

i had a look at alpine linux but it didnt have any official nvidia drivers you could install
 
1. if you got second disk best is to pass thru disk to bhyve and install linux whatewer you want and then mount it to /compat/linux and if you need to install/update again dismounting and passingthru
2. or if you are using zfs after vm create -t linux ubuntu you run command zfs set volmode=full "VM/ubuntu/ubuntu" and then install linux in to bhyve and you will get your linux partitions in /dev/zvol/"ubuntu" and you again can mount /compat/linux
