Parrot in the bhyve / BSD Hypervisor

[Dave_Yadallee]

Briefly describe your issue below:

What version of Parrot are you running? (include version (e.g. 4.6), edition(e.g. Home//KDE/OVA, etc.), and architecture (currently we only support amd64)

4.7 amd64

What method did you use to install Parrot? (Debian Standard / Debian GTK / parrot-experimental)

grub-bhyve

Configured to multiboot with other systems? (yes / no)

no isolated VM

If there are any similar issues or solutions, link to them below:

Not certain

If there are any error messages or relevant logs, post them below:

none known

Right I am trying to set up Parrot i na text VM before getting to boot in an UEFI GUI mode. How do I set up the network in the command line interface? I was able to set up Kali and Security Onion, but Parrot cannot be set up in GUI until the Bhyve developers address the Graphical VM issue.

i have seen to many bugs in grub-bhyve installer , i never use it, i would try another installer if at all possible.

LEt me reiterate that Parrot OS is set up in a VM. The problem now is the GUI mode does not work . In order to set up an internet interface, similar to Security onion, the GUI asks for the network definitions. Problem is that there is no GUI and the VM is accessible using CLI. How do I bind the V-ethernet so that it is permanently up?

I get more help from M$ converting an evalution mode to a registered mode with much better results. I have been search Google and Arch to no avail.
