Random Bhyve Notes

Ubuntu 18.04

I've found myself staring at a

grub>

With ubuntu not going anywhere..

If I did

set root=(hd0,gpt2)
set prefix=(hd0,gpt2)/boot/grub
linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/vda2
initrd /initrd.img
boot

vda being because it's got virtio-bd, if it's using ahci it should be sda

It ended up booting ..

From there I could now run an apt ( update , upgrade ), which did the most important thing here, run the magic grup updater so that grub was in place after than a simple change to the behyve config

-grub_run_dir="/grub"
+grub_run_dir="/boot/grub"

And it appears good to go!
