FWIW I gave up on that game. I now create VMs with vbox in headless mode using a VNC viewer somewhere else on the network. But my requirements are (possibly) different - I often need to run them under ESX, but getting them running with bhyve is "interesting". I also want to run specific older versions of Windoze (and OS/2). I can't imagine why I'd want to run a current Microsoft Server ;-)
