Hi Frank,

> bhyve doesn't support anything older than Vista,

  That's correct, though I'm hoping to support XP and Server 2003 at 
some point.

>and I'm unclear as to whether it supports 32-bit versions of that.

  It doesn't, nor any 32-bit version of Windows after that, mainly since 
they require BIOS and not all the support is there in the UEFI/CSM BIOS 
emulation.

  As above, hoping to rectify that at some point.

later,

Peter.
