bf4e5d1eb6 mdoc: remove superfluous paragraph macro. 2013-03-19 07:25:58 +00:00

8d05d984e8 Simplify the assignment of memory to virtual machines by requiring a single
command line option "-m <memsize in MB>" to specify the memory size.

Prior to this change the user needed to explicitly specify the amount of
memory allocated below 4G (-m <lowmem>) and the amount above 4G (-M <highmem>).

The "-M" option is no longer supported by 'bhyveload' and 'bhyve'.

The start of the PCI hole is fixed at 3GB and cannot be directly changed
using command line options. However it is still possible to change this in
special circumstances via the 'vm_set_lowmem_limit()' API provided by
libvmmapi.

263c4acf84 Use the new userboot 'getenv' callback to set a couple of environment variables
in the guest.

The variables are: smbios.bios.vendor=BHYVE and boot_serial=1

The FreeBSD guest uses the "smbios.bios.vendor" environment variable to
detect whether or not it is running as a guest inside a hypervisor.

The "boot_serial=1" is temporary and will be dropped when bhyve can do VGA
emulation.

cba736c8ee 'bhyveload' is a userspace FreeBSD loader that can load the kernel + metadata
inside a BHyVe-based virtual machine.

It is a thin wrapper on top of userboot.so which is a variant of the FreeBSD
loader packaged as a shared library. 'bhyveload' provides callbacks that are
utilized by userboot.so to do things like console i/o, disk i/o,
set virtual machine registers etc.

Thanks for Doug Rabson (dfr@) for making this happen.
