So far, the instance boots and loads its services (it's a web server) but it's hanging halfway through the loading process, and I can't make it abort loading them with ctrl-c for example.

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. Really pleased with the performance of ubuntu on bhyve. It doesn't impact much on the host either. -- 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
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.

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
