bhyve vm-bhyve and Devuan Chimaera

Tried devuan_chimaera_4.0.0_i386_netinstall.iso with VirtualBox under FreeBSD 13, worked out of the box.

Then I tried vm-bhyve.

Devuan installer starts, but cannot detect CD Rom nor network:

No device for installation media (like a CD-ROM device) was detected.

Network autoconfiguration failed

Anybody an idea, what is wrong?

Bridge is up:

Code:
vm-public: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        ether 42:94:74:18:69:bd

        member: tap0 flags=143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP>
                ifmaxaddr 0 port 4 priority 128 path cost 2000000
        member: re0 flags=143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP>
                ifmaxaddr 0 port 1 priority 128 path cost 20000
        groups: bridge vm-switch viid-4c918@
        nd6 options=9<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED>

Template is (from here)

Code:
loader="grub"
cpu=1
memory=1G
network0_type="virtio-net"
network0_switch="public"
disk0_type="ahci-hd"
disk0_name="disk0.img"
grub_run_partition="1"
grub_run_dir="/boot/grub"
 
I could not get Devuan to install with vm-bhyve, guess this is the loader not at standard location problem.

So I tried Debian with debian-11.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso
this worked with the standard debian template.
 
Then I ran some of the Java dacapo-9.12-MR1-bach.jar
benchmarks. Dacapo benchmarks known Java applications.

I ran with Java 11.0.14, FreeBSD 13, Thinkpad edge, i3, SSD.
VMs are with debian-11.2.0.

java -Xmx1G -jar dacapo-9.12-MR1-bach.jar -C avrora h2 lusearch sunflow tradebeans

times in ms. -C is converge.

Code:
        avrora         h2        lusearch    sunflow     tradebeans

host    4721        7599    2163        5614        10474

vbox    8484        4041    4965        12511        9228

bhyve    10848        7190    5846        13347        34923

I don't know if timers in the VMs are accurate.

But, I guess, for Java loads I can use VirtualBox.
