I think you might be right. I'll check to see if there's a way to tell. I can't remember if there was. It was very ad-hoc when I installed it. I know when it was installed to vbox I was exporting a term over ssh. vbox has this ILO emulation and that was used at first. Then I used the command line utilities on the host for managing and restarting the VM, and ssh to access the vm itself. ISTR in the emulation that it emulated a text console though. It's the server version of ubuntu rather than the desktop version. I remember having difficulties with character repitition over the emulated console. Having said all that, it would be weird if a server install defaulted to graphics mode on bootup! I guess stranger things have happened... -- John ___ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: moving from virtualbox to bhyve - SOLVED
Hi John, I was so busy waiting for the login screen from the console that I'd failed to notice it *HAD* actually booted. I found this out by trying to ssh to it for the hell of it. dmesg showed things were normal. My console, though, looks like this: http://tinyurl.com/q4a3t4e The ubuntu is 13.10 with security patches. I think what happened is that the grub config file was setting up Ubuntu for a graphical console on the original VBox VM. grub-bhyve will auto-insert a "console=ttyS0" at the start of the kernel command-line, but any loater "console=" option will override this. You may have to edit your grub.conf and remove any "console=" options. There may be some additional steps that are required to enable a getty on the serial port - that tends to be distro-specific and I'm not sure what is required (if anything) for Ubuntu. later, Peter. ___ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: moving from virtualbox to bhyve - SOLVED
Hi Manas, I have experienced something similar on a Gentoo guest. It boots fine but I don't get a login prompt at the end of the boot process. I am interested in learning a solution to this. I have a 14.04.1 Ubuntu guest and a Debian guest (latest version) that work fine and present me with a login prompt. This is most likely a graphically-oriented distro that doesn't have an install process that can run on a serial console. I've seen that same with Fedora ISOs. Server distros are your best bet for bhyve, at least until VGA emulation is done. later, Peter. ___ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

That's very nice of you to offer, but I have to decline as I don't own the data. I think I might have sorted it in any case. I was thrown by the login prompt not appearing in the console.

moving from virtualbox to bhyve
Hi, I'm trying to move from virtualbox to bhyve. From the server I've successfully converted an ubuntu guest on vbox to raw. What I'm trying to do is to load that into bhyve, (on another freebsd server) and I'm at the limits of my knowledge here; this isn't my speciality. The most recent information relevant to what I want to do, I found at https://www.monkeybrains.net/support/bhyve but (not his fault!) what I'm trying to accomplish is not what he set out to do. Has anyone done what I'm trying to do, or anyone know how to do it?
