I've zipped and uploaded my boot directory to my google drive

Try to exchange your boot files with those files. Anyway I'm using the
kernel of FreeBSD 14.0--RELEASE p6 for my cpu *Intel*® *Core*™ *i9*-*9900K +
GPU = Nvidia RTX 2080 ti. You can try the default kernel shipped with
FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE p6 to make it easier. *

Ciao Oleksandr.

I can't produce patches,I'm not a programmer. But I conduct experiments
every day,changing parameters,system files between different FreeBSD
versions,operating systems and tools.

Can't you use virtio-net instead of passing through the physical network
interface,like this for example : -s 13,virtio-net,tap18 \ in your bhyve
guest ?

You can try these bhyve versions : (try both)

Unfortunately both of your vmm.ko modules fail to load on my system:

KLD vmm.ko: depends on kernel - not available or version mismatch
