--- Comment #1 from Corvin Köhne <corvink@FreeBSD.org> ---
From https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?bhyve:

                   bootindex=index
                               Add  the  device  to the bootorder at index.  A
                               fwcfg file is used to  specify  the  bootorder.
                               The  guest  firmware may ignore or doesn't sup-
                               port this fwcfg file.  In that case, this  fea-
                               ture doesn't work as expected.

EDK2 for bhyve currently doesn't support the bootorder fwcfg file. Therefore,
it's ignored and uses it's default bootorder.

I'm going to send a patch to upstream EDK2.
