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
