35 guest inside a bhyve virtual machine
53 and will present an interface identical to the
55 loader on the user's terminal.
57 The virtual machine is identified as
59 and will be created if it does not already exist.
61 The following options are available:
62 .Bl -tag -width indent
63 .It Fl m Ar mem-size Xo
65 .Op Cm K | k | M | m | G | g | T | t
69 is the amount of memory allocated to the guest.
73 argument may be suffixed with one of
79 (either upper or lower case) to indicate a multiple of
80 Kilobytes, Megabytes, Gigabytes or Terabytes
89 is the pathname of the guest's boot disk image.
93 is the directory at the top of the guest's boot filesystem.
96 To create a virtual machine named
98 that boots off the ISO image
