Installing Debian 10 as a VM on FreeNAS/TrueNAS. Fix the EFI shell boot error and networking issues.

In this video I’ll show you how to install Debian 10 (or Debian 11) as a VM inside FreeNAS or TrueNAS Core bhyve. The video will include some workarounds to make the VM more stable and trouble-free.

Commands I’ve used in the video:
*Download the ISO*
fetch -o debian-10-amd64.iso YOUR_LINK_TO_DEBIAN_ISO_HERE

Sorry couldn’t post the whole string, because youtube turns links into trash.

*Create a folder for bhyve to automatically boot the VM up*
mkdir -p /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT
cp /boot/efi/EFI/debian/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi

*Show the network information*
ip a

*Edit static network config file*
nano /etc/network/interfaces

*Reload static network configuration*
systemctl restart networking

*Receive/renew DHCP lease from your router*
dhclient

*Install dynamic network manager*
apt install network-manager
