To boot using U-Boot, install sysutils/u-boot-qemu-arm64 port.
ADD FILES TO QEMU SYSTEM HOW TO
For instructions on how to boot with UEFI, see arm64/QEMU. Qemu-system-arm -M virt -m 512m -nographic -bios /usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-qemu-arm/u-boot.bin -hda /path/to/disk.imgįreeBSD/aarch64 (aka ARM64) image can be booted in two ways: using U-Boot, or with UEFI image. The serial console will be available on stdin and stdout. If you wish to boot without a graphical console, add -nographic to the qemu command line.įirst, install the U-Boot port, sysutils/u-boot-qemu-arm. When installing a new machine that requires a disk image, you can use truncate(1) to create an empty disk image before installing, for example: For more details on running qemu in general including network configuration, see the qemu page.įor systems installed from an ISO image, the instructions assume you have downloaded an appropriate ISO image from a release or snapshot. The goal is to have a at least one "blessed" qemu recipe for each architecture FreeBSD supports. This page contains recipes for using qemu to run FreeBSD inside virtual machines (especially non-native virtual machines) on a FreeBSD host.
