Hi. all.
People. Does somebody know - can BHYVE_UEFI.fd rom file to boot x86 versions of windows or not?

Take any x64 windows dvd - all're ok.
Take any x86! windows dvd (win7, 8.1, 10) and watch the next picture on boot:
Boot Failed. EFI DVD/CDROM
Boot Failed. EFI Hard Drive
with harddrive all're understanded - there's nothing. But dvd?

Take that x86 dvd and run it over real hardware in uefi mode - all are ok.

I'm watching it inly with install dvd. with live dvd x86 all are ok too. A very strange one.

Code:
bhyve -c 4 -m 6G -H -w \
  -s 0,hostbridge \
  -s 3,ahci-cd,/mnt/media1/ru_windows_10_enterprise_2016_ltsb_x86_dvd_9058173.iso \
  -s 4:0,ahci,hd:/dev/zvol/media1/vms/win10prep/32 \
  -s 5,virtio-net,tap2 \
  -s 6,ahci-cd,/mnt/media1/media/nix/BSD/FreeNAS/dists/virtio-win-0.1.118.iso \
  -s 7,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5900,wait \
  -s 30,xhci,tablet \
  -s 31,lpc \
  -l com1,stdio \
  -l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd \
  win10prep


Output:
Code:
Boot Failed. EFI DVD/CDROM
Boot Failed. EFI DVD/CDROM 1
Boot Failed. EFI Hard Drive
.
UEFI Interactive Shell v2.1
EDK II
UEFI v2.40 (BHYVE, 0x00010000)

Be say somebody, please - I must remove that topic, or fix some grammar/etc errors.
I can't understood the reason for silence of community.

Very ask to give any answer, Please. I don't think that people don't know nothing about efi vs 32bit MS install iso's. It's absurd, imho.

The last I knew, 32-bit UEFI was only used for weird embedded stuff or some types of Windows tablets. If you want to boot a 32-bit operating system, UEFI-CSM is the only choice. Whether it will work might depend on the operating system. Which exact operating system are you trying to install?
