When I was playing with bhyve-grub a while ago I noticed there seemed to be
little difference between ahci-hd and "raw" (if no format it given besides
just naming a md file).  Is it safe to treat the two formats
interchangeably in bhyve (and bhyve-grub)?  Can I do this to the point of
mixing and matching them on instances created with both (i.e. boot with
ahci on a raw image and vice versa)?
