Re: bhyve vm and virtio-console

I tried with the following command, and got the same result.

*/usr/sbin/bhyve -H -P -A -c 1 -m 1500M \
-s 0,hostbridge \
-s 6,virtio-console,0=/tmp/vtcon.0 \
-s 31,lpc \
-l bootrom,/tmp/BHYVE_UEFI.fd \
-s 1,virtio-blk,/tmp/fbsd.img \
-s 2,virtio-net,tap0 \
tmp*


I also able to connect but the bidirectional connection is not happening

*socat - UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/vtcon.0
ls
*
PS: if I use null modem emulation instead virtio-console, then 
connecting with cu is not an issue.

any ideas ?

Thanks
