1.3 update for vm-bhyve. Notable changes -

  • cloud-init support
  • user control over slot/function used for passthru devices, as well as the ability to configure the slot vm-bhyve should start at for automatic devices.
  • ability to control wired memory via wired_memory="yes". Note that it is no longer possible to use bhyve_options="-S" for this purpose. bhyve_options still exists but we no longer scan it for -S in order to pass the same option to bhyveload.
  • control over CPU topology using new bhyve CPU syntax. As far as I am aware, this will require a FreeBSD 12 host.
  • graphics_vga=on|off|io option to control the vga fbuf parameter. Instructions for OpenBSD under UEFI specified using this setting.
  • vm-bhyve will now automatically switch to ahci-hd for install media if it doesn't end with .iso. We also set this device as read-only.
