Issue with running FreeNAS on hyper-v as VM

[Tom_Clewes]

FreeNAS version: 9.10.2
Have also attempted with: FreeNAS 10 BETA2
Running on Windows 10 Pro HyperV with year 1 update

Before I detail the issue, I want to make this clear that this is not a production scenario. This is purely for self-study for vmware.

I am trying to set up a FreeNAS box as a ISCSI target for ESXI host/s (not production, self study)

When installing, it installs to the correct disk (vdisk) as expected, however on re-boot it attempts to run a normal boot but gets soo far and can't see the bootable disk

I can not scroll up in the window unfortunately so I will attatch all that I can see to this.

One of the last options is ? to list valid disk boot devices. When entering this it only see's the CD Drive and not the drive where FreeNAS was installed on.

When the VM is first powered on it can see the disk as it attempts to boot from:
*FreeNAS (default) - 2017-02-03 21:58

I have attempted:

As mentioned, I have atattched the snaps to this thread.

Any help is appreciated and thank you in advance.

FreeNAS is not very well supported under Hyper-V. It does however work very well under VMware Workstation Player if you're just testing.
