That's interesting.

I guess vmrun.sh is 'BIOS' in this context.

The host runs other VMs for other OS guests as well. For those,
I make a script that eventually invokes 
"bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd"

Because all freebsd guests are run with vmrun.sh and
nothing else, I've always had the MBR pre-selected.

I'll try spinning up a freebsd guest in my other-OS-vm-guest method,
which I expect will default to GPT like you say.

thanks for the explainer!
