+# OCIBHYVE -- Kernel configuration file for FreeBSD/amd64 bhyve guests
+# that boot with bhyveload(8) and need no modules
+#
+# This is the amd64 twin of sys/arm64/conf/OCIBHYVE. On arm64 bhyve(8)
+# boots the kernel directly as its boot ROM, and nothing can load
+# modules. On amd64 bhyveload(8) loads the kernel, and could load
+# modules too, but a kernel with the same drivers built in boots the
+# same way on both platforms, and skips the module loads. For example:
+#
+# bhyveload -h /path/to/boot -m 256M -c /dev/nmdm0A \
+# -e vfs.root.mountfrom=p9fs:root vm
+# bhyve -s 0,hostbridge -s 1,virtio-9p,root=/path/to/root \
+# -s 2,virtio-rnd -s 31,lpc -l com1,/dev/nmdm0A -m 256M vm
+#
+# where /path/to/boot/kernel/kernel is this kernel.
+#
+# ocibhyve, an OCI runtime that runs each container in a bhyve VM, uses it
+# this way, with the container's root over virtio-9p.
+#
+# For more information on this file, please read the config(5) manual page,
+# and/or the handbook section on Kernel Configuration Files:
