RE: https://mastodon.social/@emaste/116597496244280489We booted Debian and FreeBSD 15 using QEMU accelerated with bhyve/vmm for the first time. This is an epic milestone for the FreeBSD community and beyond ! : r/freebsd <https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1tk0eja/we_booted_debian_and_freebsd_15_using_qemu/> – Mario Zio.＂Further development is needed...a lot of development...but anyway this is a storic moment....we can use another hypervisor. This time in cooperation with the storic and mature QEMU. FreeBSD is second to none.This success has been possible thanks to the competence of Abhinav Chavali who started this project for the GSOC 2025 ; thanks bro.It's built on top of dumrich's work. …＂#FreeBSD #bhyve #QEMU #Linux #Debian @freebsd SummerOfCode2025Projects/VMMAcceleratorSupportForQEMU - FreeBSD Wiki — <https://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCode2025Projects/VMMAcceleratorSupportForQEMU>Cc @stefano @dexter @seanwbruno @dch
