I'm trying to setup net/wifibox and hit problem that bhyve VM doesn't mount VirtFS/9p with config files directories. Here is more detailed info regarding the issue: https://github.com/pgj/freebsd-wifibox/issues/45

Tell me please, how can I debug this issue further?

Thank you!

We were able to analyze the issue and the conclusion was that this happens because the submitter did not compile the kernel and the world with Capsicum support.  Looks like `bhyve` cannot work properly with VirtFS/9P if Capsicum is not present.
Comment 2 iron.udjin 2023-03-04 21:49:21 UTC 
Yes, bhyve doesn't mount VirtFS/9P if Capsicum is not enabled in kernel. The weird thing that bhyve doesn't complain on it in log.

The problem is solved, let's close this issue.

I do not think this ticket should be closed.  It is clearly a problem -- `bhyve` should either notify the user about this shortcoming or be able to function without Capsicum enabled.

Ok, agree. It's leave it opened.
