[OpenIndiana-discuss] Openindiana under FreeBSD bhyve

Dear Openindiana developers and users,

I would like to run Openindiana under bhyve on FreeBSD.
https://wiki.freebsd.org/bhyve

OmniOS and SmartOS work well via CSM UEFI boot.

To load FreeBSD guest systems, an userboot.so binary is provided that is
being built as a part of the FreeBSD boot loader:
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/tree/master/sys/boot/userboot

As I have seen Openindiana now uses a modified version of the FreeBSD
loader.

Do you think it would make sense to have a userboot that is capable of
loading Openindiana?

Thank you,
Martin Matuska
FreeBSD developer
