Hi Craig, > (4) Tried vmrun.sh: vmrun.sh is FreeBSD-only. > How can I boot something which uses GRUB bootloader in BHyve? There is a user-space port of grub2 that allows a number of Linux distros to boot (sysutils/grub2-bhyve). However, for Linux distros such as rhel/centos 6.* that use grub-1, it's somewhat of a manual process. Illumos/SmartOS is a different kettle of fish. It's grub-1, but the the o/s itself presents a number of issues that are still being worked through (BIOS calls, timer modes/calibration etc). later, Peter.
