Hello all Trying to install Win7 as a guest using vm-bhyve 1.0.4 and FBSD 10.3. From the vm-bhyve.log: 23:24 starting bhyve 23:30 bhyve exited with status 0 23:30 restarting 23:30 starting bhyve I guess that means the guest has rebooted once, not the expected two. The SAC console changes to: Setup is updating registry settings.. After that display, there is disk activity for a few minutes. Then nothing. In a new ssh console, top shows that the only task having used some cpu time is now in state vmidle. My computer is a Dell workstation and my iso comes from Dell; I have used it to reinstall Win7 on that computer. I read everything I could find, specially https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve/wiki/Running-Windows Any suggestion? Should I study more closely your Win7 Unattend file? I put the recommended parm "sectorsize=512" in the template Windows.conf. Is that ok? Migrating a real Windows installation to a vm would be a really nice feature. [Is it not offered by vmware?] Is it contemplated for bhyve? ~ Gilles
