What you have to do today is to convert the VMDK to a flat file, e.g. using qemu-img. Ideally bhyve would be able to read/write VM file formats directly, perhaps with some sort of filter on top of the existing file backend code. There's plenty of GPL code around for this, but bhyve requires code with a BSD license. later, Peter.
