  AFAIK, not a shell-script (although variables are set in that syntax).

  I wasn't trying to do exactly what you are, but one thing I did was set the
MAC address as one of the bhyve options:

	...
	-s 5,virtio-net,tap2,mac=00:01:02:03:04:05
	...

  (Changed the MAC address in the example, but pick a safe one for your setup)

  Should be able to provide your own rc.d configuration file that does
something like do a switch on MAC and call the hostname script directly.
