# Feature Request During the FreeBSD boot process, it resets network devices. (Why? Good question.) When running in Firecrackers, this means resetting the vtnet device. ## Describe the desired solution...
# Feature Request It would be nice to support the PVH direct boot API. Guest operating systems which have support for Xen/PVH will find this much easier than trying to...
# Describe the bug The memory map provided by Firecracker is ``` [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000000009fbff] usable [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x000000003fffffff] usable ``` In other words, the first...
