"The fbuf wait parameter instructs bhyve to only boot upon the initiation of a VNC connection, simplifying the installation of operating systems that require immediate keyboard input. This can be removed for post-installation use."
UEFI support in bhyve suggests that we can now run a Solaris guest in a FreeBSD bhyve.
This is a big deal for rsync.net, since our ZFS send/receive feature only works with other FreeBSD/FreeNAS/TrueNAS clients and not with Solaris clients that have a different ZFS version.
We've been waiting a while for this and can't wait to offer ZFS send/receive to Solaris customers.
Offtopic: I recently found rsync.net and it is easily one of the worst landing pages I've ever experienced that wasn't due to advertising. It was so bad that I didn't bother to read any further about the service.
Seriously, who thought it would be a good idea to break the back button simply as a result of scrolling? As if though paginated scrolling wasn't bad enough on its own.
We tried to do a nice, modern, enterprisey website that also worked on mobile and we failed. I am reverting a lot of it back to very simple "mother fucking website" design.
Again, sorry. We should have known better.
This should be useful, informative, and no scroll jumping javascript mumbo-jumbo:
i went to that site after reading your comment thinking how bad it could be. You are right, that has to be one of the poorly designed website i've ever been to.
Ah, I did not know that; I assumed IllumOS had the same ZFS as Solaris since they share a common ancestor and ZFS was in Solaris when it became OpenSolaris.
That's not really true. It has all of the primitives you need to support PCI graphics devices (or even memory-scraping legacy VGA if you hate yourself). It had all of the primitives you need to do emulated USB on 10.10 -- passthrough is a different matter.
For implementing GOP you need to support UEFI, generally, but beyond that it's just supporting another UEFI protocol.
