Virtualization Setup
ravynOS currently does not support graphics under virtual machines, however progress is underway. Virtualization is currently efficient for developers to develop and design non-graphical applications without the need to install ravynOS on hardware.
Below are steps on how to setup a virtualized environment for ravynOS to run in.
Preparing
Make sure you have downloaded our ISO, ready to setup your virtualized environment. You can find our mirror list here to download an ISO.
Setting Up
These steps are for Qemu/KVM for use with virsh/virt-manager (tested with v0.4.0)
Create a new virtual machine
Select FreeBSD13.1 as the Operating System
Choose the ravynOS ISO as the install media
Create 20GB in Hard Drive Storage
Before finishing setup, click on "Customize configuration before install"
Select UEFI instead of BIOS and select q35
Set the Boot Option CD-ROM to SATA-type
Finish setup
Follow the instructions in Installing ravynOS
In the TianoCore UEFI (enter this with the ESC key), it may be helpful to change the preferred screen resolution via Device Manager > OVMF Platform Configuration to something greater than 1024x768
