openbsd

Hello, I have had OpenBSD running under Parallels since OpenBSD 7.5 (console only, which is fine since it acts as a router/firewall for all my other virtual machines) and it's been great even though not officially supported. Unfortunately this all changed when I moved from 26.1.2 to 26.2.0...

It is a shame that such great OSes are rendered virtually useless due to the lack of driver support in Parallels. I cannot imagine it would be a monumental task to create BSD ports for the relevant parts of Parallels Tools (it's POSIX, after all), and plenty of people are waiting patiently!

I just installed the OpenBSD6.9 in my parallels desktop on Mac mini M1. I download and install FreeBSD 14.0 current. I named it as FBSD https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/snapshots/arm64/aarch64/ISO-IMAGES/14.0/FreeBSD-14.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-20210610-597cc550e7b-247271-disc1.iso.xz clone...

Hi there, Not being able to use FreeBSD and OpenBSD guests is a deal breaker for me. Can you add them? BR, Zlatko

Add official OpenBSD support - add OpenBSD as a choice as in the guest list (such as FreeBSD), support for automatic guest stop when the system reaches a halted state etc.

I am trying to setup an OpenBSD vm using Parallels Desktop (5). If anyone else has done this before please let me know, I'd love some advice. Once I get it setup, I'll post the steps I took to get it running incase someone else wants to set up an OpenBSD vm. Thanks! ~sroy2
