> qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O raw foo.vmdk foo.img

Thank you!
I've been struggling to get a 9.1 system running on bhyve (do to lack of 
virtio drivers in -RELEASE ISO's) and this enabled me to install 9.1 on 
VirtualBox, add the virtio kernel modules from ports, tweak configs, and 
qemu-img convert the .vdi file to a raw .img for bhyve!
