Virtualization Setup
Virtualization is efficient for developers to develop and design 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 v0.3.0)
Create a new virtual machine
Select FreeBSD as the Operating System
Choose the ravynOS ISO as the install media
Create 20GB in Hard Drive Storage
Before finishing setup, click on "advanced configuration" and make sure to select UEFI instead of BIOS and select i440FX-Chipset (if you use Q35-chipset, virtual graphics tablet driver - as a mouse replacement - might not work)
Finish setup
Set the Boot Option CD-ROM to SATA-type
Set Hard Disk to virtio-type
Activate boot menu
Change the boot order to boot from CD first
After the installation of ravynOS, you can change this setting back.
Set Video to VGA
Instead of the QXL Option selected by default.
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 1024x78
