Hi Devin,

> Question:
> Does bhyve set kern.console irrespective of loader.conf values?

  The kernel sets it based on what it determines the console to be. 
Bhyve influences that by requesting a serial console. This is no 
different than booting on a headless machine with a serial console.

later,

Peter.
