This may be a weird Cisco UCS 220 M5 issue? 12.4-Release On fresh install server boots & installs but has the same messages After fresh install of 12.4-Release, and first reboot it displays can't find hostid at loader, continues to boot but same issue. # After attempting to run bHyve root@crystal:/tmp # bhyveload -m1G -d FreeBSD-13.2-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso Loading kernel... /boot/kernel/kernel text=0x18aa98 text=0xdfd150 text=0x675154 data=0x140 data=0x1c38e8+0x43b718 syms=[0x8+0x18fe70+0x8+0x1ae449] Loading configured modules... can't find '/etc/hostid' can't find '/boot/entropy'

(In reply to unspam from comment #3) The messages about /boot/entropy and /etc/hostid are just noise rather than anything fatal; was this present on the earlier attempts but omitted by accident? > bhyve: init_bootrom: vm_create_devmem: No such file or directory
Hi Kyle, Previous version's didn't have that message, only /boot/entropy and /etc/hostid and then exit. However, that was the proper error message I had received regarding to the issue on that version. Cheers David
After using 15.0 current ISO, FreeBSD bhyve 15.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT #0 main-n266315-b2b381d365fc: Thu Nov 9 03:55:20 UTC 2023 root@releng3.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC amd64 I can now create virtual machines within jails with network activity. Not sure why, or how. But it works.
