Hi Frank/others,

Bhyve has a whole section in my book, and I am very excited about bhyve.

But on FreeBSD 11.1, while I have managed to set up Windows 10 vm in 
bhyve using the instructions at 
https://www.ateamsystems.com/tech-blog/howto-windows-10-bhyve-w-freebsd-11/, 
those same instructions fail miserably when applied to a graphical Linux 
vm (tried Centos7 and Mint).

I get the following errors when I boot the vm after install:

Invalid boot device : cdrom
Invalid boot device : hard disk
Misc EFI device

1) FreeBSD's own bhyve wiki page seems out of date, oriented only for 
console-mode Linux vm. Has anyone set up a graphical Linux vm in bhyve, 
and could someone please tell me how to get around the errors above ?

2) bhyve seems to have no USB redirection support at the moment. Right ?


Thanks & Regards,
