@bentsukun TL;DR https://github.com/NetBSDfr/smolBSD/tree/main/service/biosboot to create the image then: $ cat device.map (hd0) /home/imil/vms/biosboot-amd64.img $ cat grub.cfg timeout=0 menuentry 'biosboot (bhyve run)' { root=hd0,1 knetbsd -h com0 -r dk0 /netbsd } $ doas grub-bhyve -m device.map -d $(pwd) nb $ doas bhyve -c 1 -m 256M -A -P -H -s 0,hostbridge -s 31,lpc -s 10,virtio-blk,$(pwd)/biosboot-amd64.img -l com1,stdio nb

(kinda)smolBSD on FreeBSD's bhyve ladies and gents

A life-long bug has been fixed in smolBSD; console always behave strangely with "complex" tools like vim or curses TUI, I finally figured it out: the QEMU emulated console! redirecting stdio to a pty and connecting to it via picocom (cu works too) makes it fully functional <3
Just add `use_pty=y` in etc/myvm.conf or start it with `-P`. For Dockerfiles, add:

LABEL smolbsd.use_pty="y"

Images using console have been updated https://github.com/orgs/NetBSDfr/packages

Thanks to https://oras.land/ for having made that possible!

smolBSD: introducing `smoler.sh `, smolBSD images can now be pushed/pulled to/from ghcr.io!
i.e.

$ ./smoler.sh pull rescue-amd64:latest
$ ./startnb.sh images/rescue-amd64.img

Setup an isolated web server as a smolBSD microvm in 1 minute:
```
FROM base,etc

LABEL smolbsd.service=smolweb
LABEL smolbsd.publish="8880:8880"

ARG PUBKEY="ssh-ed25519 foo user@bar"

RUN pkgin up && pkgin -y in caddy

RUN <useradd -m smol
cd /home/smol
mkdir -p .ssh www
echo "$PUBKEY" >.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 600 .ssh/authorized_keys
chown -R smol /home/smol
EOF

EXPOSE 8880

CMD /etc/rc.d/sshd onestart && \
caddy file-server --listen :8880 --root /home/smol/www
```
