Try adding "vga=off" to the fbuf config portion i.e. -s 11,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5900,w=800,h=600,vga=off,wait This completely removes all trace of VGA registers - OS2 may be probing for these even with an EFI boot. Is it possible to download the ArcaOS ISO ? The website seems to be down atm. I added the vga=off to the command line. I am now able to boot into the install menu! I will notify the people at Arca Noae about downloading the iso. At this point I am past the initial dvd boot. Once the Arca install menu appears on the screen the mouse quits working in vnc. The menus are accessible with keyboard combinations. Choose Install / Maintain | Boot with menu for own values| PgDn | the defaults are OK | PgDn | Make sure First controller is "AHCI SATA (OS2AHCI) | tab down | Second controller None (use arrow key to select) | the rest of the defaults are OK | F10 | Enter to save changes and continue to boot Select a suitable screen resolution | Enter ArcaOS Installer Alt S (System Management) Alt D (Disk) -- at this point the system does not see any disks -- if you get stuck where alt letter combination do not work -- send Cntrl Esc to menu,sometimes you can get back to the menu and sometimes Bhyve closes the connection Bhyve does not see any disks. To move forward, I need to initialize the disk. The disk at this time is only set up with the-- truncate -s 12G arca.img Any type of Arca disk menu command will usually abend Bhyve with a seg fault. I decided to use a Win10 to initialize the disk image. I used a Win 10 guest and diskpart to create a gpt disk. Bhyve still does not see any disk. So two problems no access to disks and no mouse in vnc. I have an ISO now (thanks for getting that set up). Can get to the installer screen but the mouse isn't working, neither ps2 nor xhci/tablet, and unable to get to the Next button with a keystroke. However, the keyboard is working ok since tab is accepted. I'll see if I can work out what's happening with the mouse. |
