There are features or bug fixes that are not yet present in BHyVe shipped with certain FreeBSD versions, and this repository holds a port to make them accessible. Changes here are upstreamed to the FreeBSD ports tree time to time.
Currently, the following extensions are offered over the vanilla
bhyve distribution available from the base system:
- A more up-to-date version of the lib9p library is imported, which is newer than the one present in the FreeBSD base system.
After cloning the repository, the port can be installed as follows.
# cd sysutils/bhyve+
# make install cleanNote that the port is going to install a version of vmm.ko under
/boot/modules/ which must be explicitly referenced when using
kldload(8) for loading the module.
