+
+Recently Neel Natu [committed](https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/r273375)
+work to enable bhyve to run on AMD processors.  My main development
+machine is an AMD A10-5700, so the commit enables me to use bhyve for
+testing.
+
+EDIT: Anish Gupta did the work that Neel Natu commited.  Thanks Anish!
+
+I had previously built images using makefs and mkimg for a CF card for
+use in another machine, so being able to build images to use with bhyve
+makes sense.
+
+First, you need to make sure that you have a complete source check out
+along with a completed buildworld and buildkernel.  Then follow these steps:
+
+1.  Install world and distribution into a temporary directory using the `NO_ROOT` option:
+    <pre>```
+    make installworld DESTDIR=<tmpdir> -DDB_FROM_SRC -DNO_ROOT
+    make distribution DESTDIR=<tmpdir> -DDB_FROM_SRC -DNO_ROOT
+    ```</pre>
+    This preps everything with the defaults as necessary.
+2.  Install a kernel either into a different directory (I do this) or into the same directory above:
+    <pre>```
+    make installkernel DESTDIR=<tmpkerndir> -DNO_ROOT KERNCONF=<conf>
+    ```</pre>
+3.  Make a directory with your custom configuration files.  The basics
+    are `/etc/rc.conf` and `/etc/fstab` and you might want `/firstboot` on
+    there too.  You will also need a METALOG file which contains the
+    permissions for the files.  This is just a standard mtree file, so
+    you could use mtree to generate this instead of creating it by hand.
+    The file contents are below.
+4.  Build the ufs image using the `makeroot.sh` script in the src tree at `tools/tools/makeroot/makeroot.sh`:
+    <pre>```
+    /usr/src/tools/tools/makeroot/makeroot.sh  -e <custdir>/METALOG -e <tmpkerndir>/METALOG -p <tmpdir>/etc/master.passwd -s 2g ufs.img root
+    ```</pre>
+5.  Build the disc image:
+    <pre>```
+    mkimg -s gpt -b <tmpdir>/boot/pmbr -p freebsd-boot:=<tmpdir>/boot/gptboot -p freebsd-swap::1G -p freebsd-ufs:=ufs.img -o disc.img
+    ```</pre>
+6.  Run the image:
+    <pre>```
+    sh /usr/share/examples/bhyve/vmrun.sh -d disc.img vm0
+    ```</pre>
+
+There you have it.   Besides running the image, all the other steps can
+be done as a normal user w/o root access.
+
+EDIT: You also might want to include an `/entropy` file (populated with 4k
+from `/dev/random`) in your custom directory so that the image has a good
+seed for entropy at first boot for things such as sshd key generation.
+
+File contents:
+
+* `/etc/fstab`:
+  <pre>```
+  /dev/vtbd0p3    /               ufs     rw              1 1
+  ```</pre>
+* Custom `METALOG`:
+  <pre>```
+  #mtree 2.0
+  ./etc/rc.conf type=file uname=root gname=wheel mode=0644
+  ./etc/fstab type=file uname=root gname=wheel mode=0644
+  ./firstboot type=file uname=root gname=wheel mode=0644
+  ```</pre>
