--- Comment #2 from risner <risner@stdio.com> ---
It seems I had gotten confused by the handbook.
https://people.freebsd.org/~blackend/doc/handbook/virtualization-host-bhyve.html
Under 21.7.3. Creating a Linux® Guest, it has a line saying "The instance of
the virtual machine needs to be destroyed before it can be started again". So I
just put that in my script. Many other guides have variations of my script
(--destroy before bhyve), so it seemed to be the recommended way to start up
guests.

I had a number of issues with following the guide including never getting
grub-bhyve working. I abandoned grub-bhyve and went with UEFI booting from the
UEFI boot file menu.

I just test rebooting the host and starting the guest without doing a destroy.
All seemed well. So this appears to be a user error or misunderstanding of the
handbook.
