What is the conversion process if this is at all possible? I haven't tried it, but perhaps with qemu-img? =46rom = https://wiki.freebsd.org/bhyve: <https://wiki.freebsd.org/bhyve:>; Q: Can I use disk images from VirtualBox or other virtualization = platforms on bhyve? A: bhyve does not currently support reading foreign disk image = formats directly, so one will have to convert=20 existing disk images to a raw image using qemu-img. This = can be accomplished by doing the following=20 on a FreeBSD system:=20 $ pkg install qemu-devel $ qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O raw virtual_box_image.vmdk = bhyve_raw_image.img VMDK, QCOW, QCOW2, VDI and more images can be converted to raw = images using the qemu-img(1)=20 utility in the emulators/qemu-devel port.
