Neither KVM nor bhyve support USB passthru.
bhyve supports PCI passthru, but you would have to pass an entire
USB add-on card to your guest.

Shared folders can be solved with NFS and CIFS.


BTW has anyone tried to port VBox to OI?
Even without Oracle's proprietary bits it may be useful.
It is for FreeBSD hosts and guests.
