I’m running bhyve on an Intel machine running FreeBSD 11-CURRENT, updated a few days ago. I have a Debian 8.2 VM that has been running fine but now I’d like to add a PCI pass-through device. Unfortunately, when I add the required “-S” flag to my grub-bhyve command line it doesn’t work: # bhyvec

Hi all- I am happy to see that virtio_random(4) will be included in FreeBSD 10.1. To try it out, I loaded up BETA1 in a virtual machine with entropy passthrough enabled. After booting it with the virtio_random module loaded I see this in dmesg: virtio_pci3: port 0xc0a0-0xc0bf irq 10 at device
