35 guest inside a bhyve virtual machine
54 and will present an interface identical to
56 loader on the user's terminal.
58 The virtual machine is identified as
60 and will be created if it does not already exist.
62 The following options are available:
63 .Bl -tag -width indent
66 is the amount of memory allocated below 4GB in the guest's physical address
74 is the amount of memory allocated above 4GB in the guest's physical address
83 is the pathname of the guest's boot disk image.
87 is the directory at the top of the guest's boot filesystem.
90 To create a virtual machine named
92 that boots off the ISO image
93 .Pa /freebsd/release.iso
94 and has 1GB memory allocated to it:
96 .Dl "bhyveload -m 256 -M 768 -d /freebsd/release.iso freebsd-vm
98 In the example above the 1GB allocation is split in two segments:
101 256MB below the 4GB boundary (0MB - 256MB)
103 768MB above the 4GB boundary (4096MB - 4864MB)
