Thanks for your work on this!

With Ubuntu 16.04 I was not successful so far. After compiling bhyve and
downloading the UEFI image I start Ubuntu like this:

grub-bhyve -m device.map -r hd0,msdos1 -M 4G ubuntu
~lars/dev/bhyve_graphics/bhyve \
    -s 0:0,hostbridge \
    -s 1:0,lpc \
    -s 2:0,virtio-net,tap1 \
    -s 3:0,virtio-blk,./ubuntu-hd.img \
    -s 11,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5900,w=1280,h=720,wait \
    -s 20,xhci,tablet \
    -l bootrom,/home/lars/dev/bhyve_graphics/BHYVE_UEFI_20160526.fd \
    -c 4 \
    -m 4G \
    ubuntu


Then I connect with vncviewer but only see this message:

"Boot failed. EFI misc device"

Is there anything I can try?
