FWIW I gave up on that game. I now create VMs with vbox in headless mode 
using a VNC viewer somewhere else on the network. But my requirements 
are (possibly) different - I often need to run them under ESX, but 
getting them running with bhyve is "interesting". I also want to run 
specific older versions of Windoze (and OS/2). I can't imagine why I'd 
want to run a current Microsoft Server ;-)
