You can check „man bhyve”. virtio-fs isn’t supported. I don’t know the current state of implementing virtio-fs for bhyve.

The right device is virtio-fs. Not knowing bvyve, this probably should be -s 9,virtio-fs,<virtio-fs specific parameters> unfortunately If I do : -s 9,virtio-fs,sharename=/mnt \ it does not work : so I suppose that bhyve does not support virtio-fs. Can someone confirm this ?

I can create a memory disk from the ISO and pass the whole thing to Bhyve as a virtio-blk device. I can then mount the partition of the block device inside the guest to access its contents: file -sL /media/Debian-11.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso [...] ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data [...] mdconfig -at vnode /media/Debian-11.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso bhyve -w -H \ -s 0,hostbridge \ -s 3,virtio-blk,/dev/zvol/zroot/bhyve_vms/debianvm \ -s 4,virtio-blk,/dev/md0 \ -s 5,virtio-net,tap0 \ -s 29,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5914<http://0.0.0.0:5914>,w=800,h=600,wait \ -s 31,lpc \ -l com1,stdio \ -l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd debianvm And inside the guest vm: fdisk -l # /dev/vdb1 ...
