We still default to bhyveloader(1) if no explicit bootloader configuration is supplied in the domain. If the /domain/bootloader looks like grub-bhyve and the user doesn't supply /domain/bootloader_args, we make an intelligent guess and try chainloading the first partition on the disk (or a CD if one exists, under the assumption that for a VM a CD is likely an install source). Caveat: Assumes the HDD boots from the msdos1 partition. I think this is a pretty reasonable assumption for a VM. (DrvBhyve with Bhyveload already assumes that the first disk should be booted.) I've tested both HDD and CD boot and they seem to work.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
