17:10:37 <nikolam> Hm, what image/dataset to use if I want to run illumos kernel in HVM?.. And installing from ISO.. 
17:11:38 <bahamat> nikolam: You don't use an image https://docs.smartos.org/how-to-create-a-virtual-machine-from-scratch/
17:12:02 <bahamat> What exactly are you trying to do?
17:12:35 <bahamat> We have smartos-in-smartos images ("smartos-retro"), and there's an unofficial OmniOS image (but a bit out of date)
17:13:03 <nikolam> Yup, that's it, empty one, thanks. 
17:14:52 <nikolam> Want to install oldish opensolatis and test IPS OI repo updates, like in the old times, to see where it hangs or passes. 
17:15:03 <nikolam> Hmm, SmartOS HVM might be useful 
17:32:53 <danmcd> You can install OmniOS in a BHYVE VM, I suspect OI will work too.  (I can't remember how I brought up my OmniOS BHYVE zone, I think I used the unofficial OmniOS image and Did Upgrades internally after that).
17:51:32 <nikolam> soo. bhyve HVM can't use "nic_tag": "stub0" as etherstub for HVM virtio NIC to plug into? I have put "nic_tag": "stub0" and I see IP in 'vmadm info UUID vnc is some DHCP 'admin' interface IP.. 
17:52:10 <nikolam> I suppose it is only for vnc, but.. what if there no more then one IP on admin and no dhcp  for it? 
17:55:10 <nikolam> Ah I see, it's the same global zone IP where it opens port.. 
18:12:06 <sjorge> the omnios zfs image works well with bhyve, they have one for lts en stable, not sure on bloody
19:49:48 <andyf> There are cloud images too, which have cloud-init in them (bloody too)
