Hi all,

I've tried asking IRC, but it's pretty quiet. Does anyone know what
the status of UEFI/BIOS for bhyve is?

http://www.slideshare.net/syuu1228/implements-bios-emulation-support-for-b-hy-ve-a-bsd-hypervisor
looks neat; is it integrated?

http://blather.michaelwlucas.com/archives/2060 seems to suggest
someone was working on something back in May?

I've tried booting a Linux VM and of course it just hangs in
bhyveload. Does anyone know what is needed? What has been implemented?
If work is being done in this area, where it is? And what else is
needed?

Thanks,
Conrad
