This enables booting interactive GRUB menus (e.g. install CDs) with libvirt-bhyve. Caveat: A terminal other than the '--console' option to 'virsh start' (e.g. 'cu -l /dev/nmdm0B -s 115200') must be used to connect to grub-bhyve because the bhyve loader path is synchronous and must occur before the VM actually starts. Changing the bhyveProcessStart logic around to accommodate '--console' for interactive loader use seems like a significant project and probably not worth it, if UEFI/BIOS support for bhyve is "coming soon."
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.
