I > would like to With the Caveat that you should think about whether or not this is the approach you want to take, what you are asking is indeed doable and there are valid use-cases to running Android in a VM. I guess there is no complete step by step guide because there are many ways to do it and it depends a bit on your needs. The general guide would be something like: 1. Get an ISO from the Android-x86 project https://www.android-x86.org/releases (not aware of other installation methods atm) 2. Use that ISO to install the OS under bhyve (using the UEFI loader) 3. Profit It's a tad more complex than that because you'll have to make sure that networking is properly setup and that the screen is made available over VNC; that's where any general step-by-step bhyve guide will help. There are helpers like vm-bhyve, depending on how you approach things you can use either. See, e.g.: https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve/ and https://wiki.freebsd.org/bhyve/ which might bring you a tad further. Cheers, -- Evilham
