AMD processor support in bhyve is almost at the level of Intel processor support, with one notable gap being the lack of IOMMU support which is required for PCI passthru. > When will Windows and Mac OS X Snow Leopard onwards be supported? Windows is (slowly) being worked on. Nothing is happening with OSX to my knowledge. > Are installations headless and require something like VNC? Installations are currently via the guest's serial console. later, Peter.
