I use NetKVM (VirtIO network) driver from there all the time, because e1000 is bad. However, I've read a number of bhyve resources including https://wiki.freebsd.org/bhyve/Windows and I've never found a success story with paravirtualized Windows disk drivers. If anyone has been successful with viostor(?), please share your experience. I would be especially grateful for instruction how to install Windows on a viostor disk instead of ahci-hd. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN 2:5005/49@fidonet http://vas.tomsk.ru/
