I've been lucky to find a compatriot :) Sometimes time happens and it makes me feel happy. You are right. I got confused. I've thought virtio-9p working depended on virtiofs working. Anyway, neither of those functions works :( Anyway I'm not sure that the right place to ask this question is the bhyve ML. It seems more a problem of Device drivers and Windows 11.
