>> up the host.)
>>         4. emulators/petitecloud does not yet support multiple network or
>> storage devices (although bhyve does support them)
>>         5. Full instance control is not supported yet.  Instances can be
>> created, but cannot yet be stopped, re-started or deleted via
>> emulators/petitecloud  itself.  (However, instances can be killed from the
>> process table and deleted manually from the config file
>> (/usr/local/etc/petitecloud/instances).)
>>         6. In the included web GUI (by design all GUI commands have
>> commmand line equivelents and vice versa) there is no CSS yet, so as to
>> allow our web designer a freer hand.
>>
>>         We plan to fix the above issues in future versions.  In the

>>
>>         1. What areas need the most improvements and what specific
>> suggestions you have for them
>>         2. Attempt to use on as wide a range of hardware as possible
>> (within the limits of what bhyve supports)
