So let me correct that statement with the new information.
I do not believe that bhyve can run an MBR Windows 7 install
at this time, as that would indicated the install is not UEFI
bootable, and we can only boot Windows 7 64 bit in EFI mode.

Yes, I do believe that is the correct conclusion to your current situation.
The other part that could be at issue here is if this is a 32bit or 64bit
version of windows.  As Peter stated only 64 bit windows in UEFI mode.

It might be possible to create a shim drive that has the Windows UEFI boot
code on it, and set that shim drive up to load the copy of windows from
your image file.

This would be a experiment that might lead to a booting VM.
It may also be possible to remove the legacy bootmgr files
from the disk0.img and add the needed uefi files, I gave
some commands in a prior email that would allow you to mount
this disk on the FreeBSD system to facilitate this type of
work.

Yes, Windows 7 is from the same "brunch" as Windows 2008. And I think my 
problem is that hardware server has been installed without UEFI, just in Legacy 
mode.
So, in this situation it is unable run this server in Bihyve with UEFI.

Am I right?

Your command in the original email had these 2 strings, please correct that
error in your command.   VM != vm in unix world.

Ok so infact these 2 files are in the same directory, that needs to be spelled 
exactly the same
on the command line of bhyyve.

But I think the bigger problem is that this is an MBR disk with Windows 7 in 
it, I
do not believe that bhyve can run Windows 7 at this time.  

> May be I incorrect have converted this image?...

The results above look ok, though the alignment is a bit odd.
You man want to play with mdconfig and fusefs to see if you
can read the converted image:

pkg install fusefs-ntfs

mdconfig -f disk1.raw
ntfs-3g /dev/md0s1 /mnt
find /mnt

That should atleast validate the file system a little.

Peter pointed out to us that UEFI_CSM does not work with windows.
I think the bigger problem here is this appears to be a windows 7 image?

It would still be helpful to know what the host system thinks of
these files, please output of:
file /vm/img/disk1.raw
file /VM/distory/null.iso

This files are present and without typo as I have copied path and filenames via 
clipboard.
Next I will try with sysutils/uefi-edk2-bhyve-csm.

You have not answered these 3 questions
what is output of "file /vm/img/disk1.raw"
what is output of "file /VM/distro/null.iso"

Is there a possible typo here in your command line???  vm vs VM?

Without a BIOS you must use bhyveload to get a kernel loaded, and thats not
going to work for your Windows img.

I said not clear. I can not reboot hardware server for some reason and 
therefore do not know boot settings: or this is UEFI boot or Legacy.
But problem is in inability to boot the virtual server. After I connect via VNC 
I see this error:

Boot Filed. UEFI Hard Drive

Without parameter "-l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd"  
bhyve does not start at all with error

virtual machine cannot be booted.

Ok, thats to clean up after a crashed VM, not the way to shutdown
a running system.

Boot Failed?   So windows never started.
Your not having a shutdown problem your having a start up failure.  

What is the output of:
file /vm/img/disk1.raw
file /VM/distro/null.iso

And do you really have /vm and /VM?  Or is that a typo?
