Booting a disk image with GRUB 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.
