I'm trying to get the Arch Linux VM I created using FN10(Corral) to run from FN11 but I'm not getting past the boot loader as it can't find the relevant boot files. The VM was created with a GRUB boot loader by default and there was no option to switch to UEFI when creating from the GUI in Corral.
From FN11 I have created a new VM, pointed a new Disk Device to the data store holding the OS image. I can start the VM and VNC to it but I can see the Boot Failed message. I can get into the Shell and exit the Shell into the menu options but from here I'm stuck.
The VM is running with these switches :-
Do I need to switch boot loaders from within Arch itself? I have the option to boot back into Corral and load up the VM from there but from the relevant articles online and in these forums it suggests the BHYVE_UEFI.fd has the relevant detail I need.
With regards to the VM disk, the device is set to BLOCK mode and I have no way of seeing this from the BSD shell, can it be switch to either file or disk mode without compromising the VM?
Thanks in advance.
