Good to know.

That would be great. As I said: stable/10 works just fine,

BTW: Can you review the attached patch that moves disk
support from bhyveload and bhyve into a new library called
libvdsk. Once there, I plan to add support for VM image
formats like vmdk, vhd, qcow, etc. For now, it's just
moving the barebones support into the libary.

Thanks,
