Sharing top output might help (memory/swap and ZFS arc usage). Also,
make sure you're not low on diskspace (these are the two most common
issues I encountered with hanging bhyve VMs - out of non-virtual memory
and out of diskspace of the host machine filesystem).

Some basic info on the host and your VM configuration might also help
others to reproduce the problem.
