Help: Getting started with bhyve

[suraj swaminathan]

I have intel i5 processor. Hence i386 version.
Okay now it makes sense(If bhyve is supported only on amd64). Guess I have
to get hold of a machine with amd64, use the iso from:
http://ftp4.us.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/10.0/
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks,
Suraj
