List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 21 Dec 2015 18:33:41 -0000 Hello I am interested in running bhyve VMs utilizing UEFI, as described in Peter's Windows guide: http://pr1ntf.xyz/windowsunderbhyve.html The host machine will be an dual AMD Opteron 6166 HE processor, AMD SR5670 / SP5100 chipset, Supermicro H8DGU-F motherboard. There is no UEFI support on this motherboard and the BIOS is standard AMI like the other Supermicro boards from this era. Despite not having native UEFI support on the motherboard, will I still be able to use virtualized UEFI via bhyve, for booting Windows VMs? -- - EJR
