Summary

Let the user decide if he wants to use bhyve's fwctl or qemu's fwcfg. He
can set the interface by adding a fwcfg option to bootrom:

-l bootrom,<path/to/rom>,fwcfg=bhyve
-l bootrom,<path/to/rom>,fwcfg=qemu

Event Timeline

  • do not create acpi tables for fwcfg if it's unused
usr.sbin/bhyve/bhyve.8

I think some more elaboration is needed. What is a "fwcfg", what are the valid values, why would someone choose one value over the other?

  • explain usage of fwcfg more detailed
  • fix style issues
