Hi Andrea,

  The simple fix, which should show up soon, is to exit in bhyveload if 
the VM has already been created (i.e. is must be deleted before 
re-running bhyveload). This will also fix the case of not running the 
delete.

  And, bhyvectl should be fixed to flag an error for this case.

later,

Peter.
