If you want to make windows Setup aware of 3rd-party drivers, you need to do that with some unattended answer file. Simply adding driver files to the same setup source won't work (while there is/was a standard path for such things – $$\$OEM$ or the like – but I don't remember out of mind and I'm even unsure if this was NT only...) I'm either attaching a second ODD or another HDD, wich provides driver files on FAT32 – until I find some time to improve C skills and write floppy support for bhyve(8) ;-) (which would be a very good practicing project imho). I'd suggest the following mass storage config (adding a second ODD with the virtio-141 drivers): -s 3,ahci,hd:/dev/zvol/zroot/msw7,sectorsize=512/8192,cd:./en_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_vl_build_x64_dvd_u_677791.iso,cd:./virtio-win-0.1.141.iso After connecting via VNC the vm boots from DVD and you see the setup program. You won't have mouse support, but keyboard's been working, right? So you have been able to finsih setup and login via VNC, still no mouse. Use your existing setup or do a new one to make the last assumptions true. If you booted with the two ISO images, use the keyboard to start "control panel/Device Manager", where you should find the unattached virtio NIC. Installt/Update the driver from there, you can tell the assistant to use e:\ as source (your 2nd. ODD). Hth, -harry
