Not sure if anyone's replied directly to you -
1) Make sure you are running at least 11-RELEASE
2) Use an "off-the-shelf" Windows install CD
3) Add the following to your bhyve command
-s 29,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5900,w=800,h=600,wait
-s 30,xhci,tablet
4) Run bhyve and then use a VNC client to connect and install using the normal Windows GUI
