Thank you very much. It is up and running.

I have an additional question. When I try to run:

bhyve -c 1 -s 0,hostbridge -s 3,ahci-hd,/dev/zvol/zroot/msw7,sectorsize=512/8192 -s 10,virtio-net,tap1 -s 31,lpc -s 29,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5900,w=1366,h=768,wait -s 26,passthru,0/26/0 -S -l com1,/dev/nmdm0A -l com2,/dev/nmdm1A -l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd -m 4G -H -w windows7
bhyve: passthru device 0/26/0 BAR 0: base 0xd4739000 or size 0x400 not page aligned

bhyve: failed to initialize BARs for PCI 0/26/0



pciconf -vlb ppt0 at pci0:0:26:0
ppt0 at pci0:0:26:0:       class=0x0c0320 card=0x17df103c chip=0x1e2d8086 rev=0x04 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = '7 Series/C216 Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller'
    class      = serial bus
    subclass   = USB
    bar   [10] = type Memory, range 32, base 0xd4739000, size 1024, enabled


The intention is to have usb device in the windows.

Any suggestions?

Thank you very much.
