Recommend veb(4) instead of bridge(4).

bridge(4) has weird interactions with traffic crossing the bridge.

Missing change after updating the faq pointed out by ajacoutot

configuration files.

Change install images called *.fs to *.img. These are UFS filesystem images,
but additionally have a bootblock in the first 8K (since UFS does not use that
space). There are some UEFI direct-from-internet bootloaders that require
the name *.img. So this makes things more convenient for those, while keeping
it consistant in all architectures.

Fix comment: vmctl command options come before arguments


# e330d69c 11-Nov-2017 mlarkin <mlarkin@openbsd.org>

update switch handling in vmd(8). vmd now gets switch information (rdomain,
etc) from underlying switch interface instead of handling this on its
own.

Diff from carlos cardenas, Thanks!

Boot using BIOS from /etc/firmware/vmm-bios by default.

Instead of using the internal "vmboot", VMs will now be booted using
the external BIOS firmware in /etc/firmware/vmm-bios (which is subject
to a LGPLv3 license). Direct booting of OpenBSD kernels or
non-default BIOS images is still supported for now using the -b/boot
option that is replacing the -k/kernel option.

As requested by Theo, vmd(8) fails if neither the default BIOS is
found nor a kernel has been specified in the VM configuration. The
"vmm" BIOS has to be installed using fw_update(1), which will be done
automatically in most cases where the OpenBSD can fetch it after
install/upgrade.

Change switch "wireless" to another example - bridging from VM to
wireless in station mode is not supported.


# 789e0822 05-Oct-2016 reyk <reyk@openbsd.org>

Add support for enhanced networking configuration and virtual switches.
See vm.conf(5) for more details.

# 8db6b811 06-Jan-2016 reyk <reyk@openbsd.org>

This is just an example and we don't have to bump the set's version
number all the time, but let's use install59.fs as it will be the
first release that includes vmm.

Previously forgot another /var in the comment


# 693a75a2 07-Dec-2015 reyk <reyk@openbsd.org>

/var/vm is a terrible idea, the images are filled on demand, they are
not backed by blocks until used.

So I'll use /home/vm instead.

Add initial vm.conf(5) example. But please note that the grammar is
not fixed yet.
