Hi,
As a long time fan of iohyve hosting Debian VMs on my FreeNAS machine, I thought I should move with the times and build my next VM using the new GUI. It hasn't gone well, and I'm hoping someone can tell me what stupid thing I'm doing wrong.
I've followed the wizard, and prepared a VM in the GUI as follows:
At which point absolutely nothing happens. All I can do is power off the VM and start again.
I'm rather stumped and surprised. I haven't done anything fancy. I know the Debian install image would have worked if I built it with iohyve, because I've done it many times before. I'm keen to get the benefits of VirtIO (the iohyve connected disks always perform rather poorly), which is why I decided to try the GUI way.
Any help greatly appreciated!
My FreeNAS setup per signature.
Many thanks!

I've followed the wizard, and prepared a VM in the GUI as follows:
- 3 vCPU, 2GB RAM, UEFI bootloader
- 2 newly created Zvols connected as DISK devices with VirtIO. When I install Debian, I will use one for / and one for /home
- 1 Debian image connected as a RAW device with VirtIO (https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-10.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso)
- 1 GE adapter connected as NIC device with VirtIO
Code:
error: no suitable video mode found. Booting in blind mode
At which point absolutely nothing happens. All I can do is power off the VM and start again.
