Opening the BIOS in a vmguest
-
Hi, Everyone.
Is it still possible when I boot a vmguest interrupt it and get into the BIOS? If I try to boot the vmguest I only see a white background and the next screen is the selection on which kernel I want to load. Is there a setting in xen orchestra or xcp-ng that will allow me perform the interrupt to get into the BIOS?

Hi,
There's no "BIOS" menu (except in UEFI). What do you want to achieve?
-
Thanks for reply, this is more of a question. Because I know in vmware workstation this was an option, I was thinking it maybe an option as well in XCP-NG that I may have overlooked.

@ashinobi The only time I've needed to get into the UEFI was to set a specific resolution. If you're using UEFI it's ESC to get into it.
-
Thanks for sharing that info I will configure my vmguest in the future to use UEFI instead of BIOS.

Sure, but for what reason exactly? Just for the sake of curiosity? (that's a fine answer!)

I have a lab at home and I am trying to prepare in a comptia linux+. There was a tutorial where they discuss timedatectl. I notice that my RTC time is different. I was wondering is this because my BIOS time maybe not set right.
-
There's no time emulation in the BIOS. Xen is a type 1 hypervisor. Time is handled by Xen directly.

Thank you for sharing that information, that is an additional knowledge for me.
