[libvirt] [PATCHv4 1/3] bhyve: Support /domain/bootloader configuration for non-FreeBSD guests.

Conrad Meyer cse.cem at gmail.com
Sun Oct 26 19:41:27 UTC 2014


We still default to bhyveloader(1) if no explicit bootloader
configuration is supplied in the domain.

If the /domain/bootloader looks like grub-bhyve and the user doesn't
supply /domain/bootloader_args, we make an intelligent guess and try
chainloading the first partition on the disk (or a CD if one exists,
under the assumption that for a VM a CD is likely an install source).

Caveat: Assumes the HDD boots from the msdos1 partition. I think this is
a pretty reasonable assumption for a VM. (DrvBhyve with Bhyveload
already assumes that the first disk should be booted.)

I've tested both HDD and CD boot and they seem to work.
