Hi Andrea,
I had some wonderfully working machines with bhyve with a plain
10.0-p4. I just upgraded to 10.1-RC3 and now the VMs won’t boot
anymore: they get just stuck with "unable to load kernel”. After some
trials and errors I think I traced it to user boot getting confused
by a ZFS partition inside the VM.
I did some experiments with set currdev and got the kernel loaded but
then the machine just hangs.
Please give me some advice :-)
This was reported by Craig Rodrigues a while back - the email thread is at

I never got around to implementing the flag to disable ZFS boot, but
you may be able to use an alternate workaround. From your manual fix:
OK set currdev=disk0p2:
OK set rootdev=disk0p2:
Env variables can be set from the bhyveload command line using "-e
<env>=<value>". Now, I'm not sure that currdev and rootdev can be set
that early in the boot, but it's worth a try e.g. add these:
-e currdev="disk0p2:" -e rootdev="disk0p2:"
later,
Peter.
