Server 2008 datacenter 32 bit installed fine. Any later version requires 64 bit and doesn't work on TCG (unaccelerated) qemu. This is a qemu bug, not an OpenBSD bug. Apparently with a couple of diffs floating around on the qemu mailing list, you can at least get past the 5D BSOD, but you just end up getting whacked by PatchGuard after a few minutes due to other bugs in qemu. And then someone fixed^Whacked around that issue and got further, but then broke app compatibility in some cases. See: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-08/msg02161.html and http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-09/msg01412.html and http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-07/msg03729.html I'm not sure what you were after, but if you just need "any Windows server", 32 bit server 2008 runs fine (albeit very slowly, like 25% native speed). -ml
