New bloody packages are published every week or two

We don't update the installation media as often because you can install the latest and `pkg update` to get up to date.

excellent

i just download ISOs/IMGs

building new PC this month and will bit the bullet to use (inferior) UEFI to install more than four UNIX/GNU/Linux including two Illumos including OmniOS CE (or is it just OmniOS now?)

andyf: what does the windows type change? I've noticed that both Windows and Generic seem to work just fine for Windows 2022, and the documentation doesn't make clear the implications.

It moves the LPC device into a different PCI slot, effectively.

See here - github.com/omniosorg/pkg5/blob/mast…r/src/brand/bhyve/boot.py#L367-L373

oh, the windows vm boots now. Odd, I recreated the zone (with type correct from the get go). Though I thought I did that yesterday too.

except it says it doesn't meet windows11 sys requirements. err

is there something one has to do to get it to pass the win11 sys requirements test? I did give it 4 cpus and 6g of ram, and I'm running a modern intel cpu.

divansantana - take a look at wiki.freebsd.org/bhyve/Windows

Specifically the "To bypass this TPM requirement..." bit

andyf: will do. thanks so much Andy.

andyf: is there any reason why the LPC isn't on 31 by default? I just asked about on the bhyve call and it seems to be what everyone just does. It looks to me like this can be very simplified just by picking defaults that work for everyone

well, maybe I'm overstating how much it can be simplified..

but at least somewhat

how to get the shift key to work over vnc? trying to push shift-f-10 in windows 11 to bypass the tpm requirements. but i see shift doesn't work.

oninoshiko: this is in my bhyve.cfg file by default with type=windows pci.0.31.0.device=lpc

ok, so shift-<f10> doesn't seem to work to bypass tpm2 requirement. other option is to set the tpm2 to passthru. i see how to do that with native bhyve, but how to pass this option through in omnios I'm not sure

I see bhyve_config says set the tpm.path and tpm.type which one can do in the /some/windows/etc/bhyve.conf file. but that gets wiped on bootup. how to edit this file correctly. i guess I need to set it in zonecfg but the format I'm not sure of.

thats assuming tpm passthru works on omnios. I also don't see a tpm device under /dev on the host
