Yes, that was the first command (sorry, I did not include it in the output) : truncate -s 20G wxp.img On Sat, Jul 9, 2016 at 9:52 AM, Shane Ambler <FreeBSD@ShaneWare.Biz> wrote: On 09/07/2016 02:45, Manish Jain wrote: I am trying to see if I can achieve Windows XP virtualization with my FreeBSD 10.2 amd64 host.

The truncate command between the ifconfig and vmrun.sh is the one that creates the empty file to be used. Unless you are running a very recent build of FreeBSD current (last 5 days) you will need some extra work for windows. To get windows running you need to setup an unattended install for windows as there is no gui available during boot. https://wiki.freebsd.org/bhyve/Windows -- FreeBSD - the place to B...Software Developing Shane Amblerhelp
