Excerpts from Peter Grehan's message from Sun 04-Oct-15 13:11: > As of r288524, bhyve has preliminary support to run Windows in headless > mode using UEFI firmware. > > Since it's headless, the install process consists of modifying the > Windows install ISO to include an 'unattend' XML script that automates > the install, and also inserting the virtio network driver currently > required by bhyve. > > This has been tested with 64-bit Windows Server 2k12r2 and 2k16 tp3, and > Windows 10. The server versions are recommended since they have serial > console support, whereas the desktop install is a black-screen experience. > > ISO repack instructions at: > http://people.freebsd.org/~grehan/bhyve_uefi/windows_iso_repack.txt > > Install/run instructions at: > http://people.freebsd.org/~grehan/bhyve_uefi/windows_install.txt > > Please give this a try and report back on how it goes. > Another report: Windows 2012 works perfectly. FreeBSD 11-CURRENT on Thinkpad T430. Also I was able to pass through USB3 controller to Windows. Thinkpad has another USB2 controller which I kept with FreeBSD. Thanks! Sergey
