when the the local disk was empty, loader.efi is called (this via dhcp) and it
boots diskless,
but now that the disk is populated, it boots from it.
Q: how can I have it boot diskless again?
I haven't seen an answer. Have you tried the freebsd-virtualization list?
I assume you could interrupt the boot process if fast enough (but it's the
blink of an eye);
so you'll most likely be more successful putting a startup.nsh and possibly an
EFI shell in the EFI System Partition (ESP) and script it? Could be the bhyve
firmware brings the efi shell along already?
