Hello!

I've got an issue with using Windows (7/10 or even Server version) as a client
due to auto-restart of the system. I cannot even log in because system restarts
infinitely, seen at console on 5900 port.

Generally, I'm able to boot from CD/DVD (iso file). I can install Windows.
But after installation, the system loads and I can see logon screen. After half
a minute or minute system shuts down and that's all.
I was trying to run ready and working system from the another machine and it's
the same.

I tried this solution (Windows option change)

https://www.drivereasy.com/knowledge/windows-10-keeps-restarting-try-these-steps/

without success.
In this case I can change logon type to Safe mode, but after restart and
loading the system, the issue keeps the same.

I was trying on diffrent partitions with different hard drives.
I was changing number of CPU nad RAM (on bhyve).
I disconnected virtual network card network from bhyve command as well.

FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE-p10 amd64
Command:

# bhyve -c 4 -m 8G -H \
-s 0,hostbridge \
-s 3,ahci-hd,/data/vm12.img,sectorsize=512 \
-s 10,virtio-net,tap1 \
-s 29,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5900,wait \
-s 30,xhci,tablet \
-s 31,lpc -l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd -w vm12
