Summary: [Handbook] Chapter 24.7.3 - Remove
sysutils/grub2-bhyve as an option
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---

Hi,
In Chapter 24.7.3 Creating a Linux Guest, I think the option to install the
sysutils/grub2-bhyve port should be removed.
This is because the sysutils/grub2-bhyve port is no longer maintained. For
security and stability reasons, I don’t see it as a good idea to include in the
Handbook instructions to install a port that is no longer maintained.
As an alternative, we have sysutils/bhyve-firmware port, which is maintained
and works well, as mentioned on Chapter 24.7.4.
Thanks
