I've used specifically these drivers https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.96/virtio-win-0.1.96.iso and had trouble with both later and earlier drivers, YMMV, and I sadly forget where I got this advice. Also, it’s possible to install virtio drivers directly from the CD without pointy-clicky stupidness. Just add the CD to your bhyve command, in a later "PCI slot" than the existing “hard disk”, as the lowest numbered slot is what’s used to boot from AFAICT. - open an elevated command prompt - run for /d %i in (d:\*) do @pnputil -a %i\w7\amd64\*.inf (you may need a different driver than w7 here) - some of those will fail but just carry on - reboot FTW more notes here on my bhyve setup https://hackmd.io/s/rJvJuE-CW# A+ Dave
