Jason and Rodney, thanks, it's useful to know, though for the present I
was happy enough with the serial console installation.

Now I'd like to concentrate on the question how to start a graphical
desktop environment in a bhyve guest.

TO fix some of your issues, ie the fact that the kernel boot
messages and the installer do not appear in the vnc display
if you drop to the loader prompt during the boot process and
set serial_boot="NO"
then you get the kernel boot messages and the installer in
the vnc output.

Once you finished the install adding:
boot_serial="NO"
to
/boot/loader.conf

works around the fact the kernel boot messages are going to a serial console.


This *may* effect x11 startup, I havent got to that part yet...
