Boot OpenBSD with bhyve and libvirt automatically.

Hi,

I am attempting to have an OpenBSD guest run inside of bhyve and libvirt.

I have already completed the install by running the grub2-bhyve and bhyve commands manually.

When attempting to run the OpenBSD guest from lib virt, I get:

virsh start --console guest
<hang>

An inspection of ps shows that it is at the grub-bhyve command. I daresay it is waiting for the stdin lines:

kopenbsd -h com0 (hd0,openbsd1)/bsd
boot

The "automatic" boot seems not to work.

Is there a way to "automate" the input of these lines into grub-bhyve from libvirt so that my virsh start command works? Or will I need to run this with grub-bhyve / bhyve commands for now? Is this a feature that should be added to grub-bhyve to accept a parameter that is a boot script perhaps? Or libvirt to have a function to direct into stdin of the grub-bhyve prompt.

Sincerely,

William Brown
