And you shouldn't get confused by the naming: "Gen 1" and "Gen 2" implies that one is better than the other. This doesn't seem to be the case - they are just different in regards to legacy devices. Gen 2 is a bit like HVPVM in in Xen (or was it PVHVM?). Gen 2 requires UEFI and PV drivers, while Gen 1 does not require them. And we still miss a PV storage driver (aka. "hvs(4)") for Hyper-V, it wouldn't support the disk. OpenBSD requires Gen 1 and the pciide(4) emulation on Hyper-V.
