Hello guys.

I had some wonderfully working machines with bhyve with a plain 10.0-p4. =
I just upgraded to 10.1-RC3 and now the VMs won=E2=80=99t boot anymore: =
they get just stuck with "unable to load kernel=E2=80=9D. After some =
trials and errors I think I traced it to user boot getting confused by a =
ZFS partition inside the VM.

I did some experiments with set currdev and got the kernel loaded but =
then the machine just hangs.

Please give me some advice :-)

Here=E2=80=99s a capture of the machine and what i did to get it =
working. Any idea is welcome. Thanks
