Hello,

I have a bootable usb image file which I would like to use as an installer
medium under byhve, a Linux based stuff. Using dd to write image file to an
usb stick and installing stuff from it works ok. However under bhyve
accessing the image as ahci-hd or virtio-blk and using grub-bhyve, guest
does not boot up.

What is the proper way to use bootable image file? Will it work at all or
it is not (yet) supported?

Can someone please show me a how-to?

Thanks.
