Hi All,

I am old FreeNAS user with lot of warden jails but I try to test now the bhyve VM.
I created test new zvol 50GiB dataset on one of my test drives and try to boot up this TestVM.
2vCPU (NAS on Xeon E5-1620 with 4/8core)
Mem 1024MiB
Boot method UEFI
Autostart disabled (least now)
Device NIC: Intel e82545 (e1000), NIC to attach igb1 (NAS uses the igb0 as main)
Device VNC: 1920x1200, VNC port 5910 (random), bind to the main IP address of freeNAS on igb0, VNC Web enabled
Device DISK Zvol the 50GiB only free selected, Mode AHCI, sector size 0
Device CD-ROM CD-ROM iso image selected from another dataset as FreeBSD file name FreeBSD-12.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso (checksum checked after download)

Start as START>Yes, Vnc via Web>Connect
I see the boot screen the switch to black.

I found this trick in FreeBSD web idea about
Push 3 to Escape to loader prompt
type set kern.vty=sc
type boot

What I get see in attached jpg file as "can`t find `/boot/entropy`"
Anybody have idea what a hell that means? I don`t find a forum or web solution. Any other OS boot have same issue or just me?

Don't interrupt the normal boot process as seen via the VNC connection, when it reaches a blank screen switch to using a serial console connection and proceed to install if possible.
