Cannot access Virtual Machine BIOS

[gin]

How do I access virtual machine windows 10 bios?
either boot is too fast for F2 or DEL or BIOS does not exist in VM

Hi,
you don't have an "real" bios. Press <esc> for an boot-menu.
Perhaps you can configure something in the seabios… you can look here: https://www.coreboot.org/SeaBIOS

I'd like to know what do you want to do in the "BIOS" of a VM?

Hi,
boot sequence ist done by the pve-config (VM -> Options -> Boot Order).

I do have some sort of the same issue... I passthrough a HBA with 8 drives for my TrueNas vm runnning on Proxmox.
I did the TrueNas installation, then I passthrough the HBA card with my 8 disks attached (since it is a passthrough this controller / disk don't show up in (VM -> Options -> Boot Order) but now when I boot, the vm try to boot from the HBA disk instead of the VM os disk... any idea on how to change that permanently ? Pressing esc does not seems to work for me. the system try to boot from the hba and then detect probably the zfs data partition because I get : "This is a FreeNAS data disk and can not boot system. System halted."

If I press Esc at boot I can get the Boot device menu but I can't the Virtio-scsi Drive as default

reinstalling truenas with OVMF bios worked for me

Esc at boot I can get the Boot device menu.
And.... You might want to get into the BIOS of a VM to boot from the ISO if you wanted to install from the OS and not have to recreate the VM... LnxBil
