What version of FreeBSD are you doing this on? uname -a?

^^^^^^^^^^^ read the manual page very carefully,
if you do not specify a unit for -m the default is to use it as megabytes, this is requesting
a VM of 17G x 10^6, or 17 x 10^15 bytes of memory, you probalby want to say
-m 16G

^^^
bhyve does not support .vhd format disks, it supports only raw
images, how was this file created?

where is this bootrom from? The officially supported firmware
should be at /usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd

I believe your X: drive is the ramdisk image of the windows 2012
installer?
I do not see any setup for a fbuf/vnc console, you probalby want a
-s 29,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5900,w=800,h=600,wait
line added to above and connect to it once your vm is started.
Windows wants a graphical device, and unless you have handcrafted
an autoinstall .iso that can run unattended you wont get very
far without one.
