I said not clear. I can not reboot hardware server for some reason and therefore do not know boot settings: or this is UEFI boot or Legacy.
But problem is in inability to boot the virtual server. After I connect via VNC I see this error:

Boot Filed. UEFI Hard Drive

Without parameter "-l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd"  bhyve does not start at all with error

virtual machine cannot be booted.
