you're starting your bhyve with a -s that specifies the ahci-hd driver. 
the guest kernel therefore sees an 'ahcich0' device.

if you start bhyve with a -s that specifies the virtio-blk driver, then 
your guest kernel will see a 'vtblk' device.

this may matter, since the kernel timeout you showed was in the ahci 
driver. i have never used this driver in bhyve.
