Having a play with OmniOS, as a possible S11.4 server replacement. I am investigating bhyve

Following the OminOS example (debian guest) I get stuck at zoneadm install, it just fails to start

Connecting to the console shows "ZONE Halted" and the root/tmp/init.log shows "vm_create: No such file or directory"

So, I am missing something. I can't find any packages ownong vm_create (pk search), nor cn I find reference to this on the web. So, starting here .....
