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=3D0.0.0.0:5900,w=3D800,h=3D600,wait -s 30,xhci,tablet 4) Run bhyve and then use a VNC client to connect and install using the nor= mal Windows GUI Matt
