Hi Ivan,

  Recent Linux/x64's should work using grub-bhyve from ports. The 
easiest to use are server distros with grub2 native - Ubuntu 12/13 LTS, 
Debian 6/7. RHEL/CentOS 6.* works but with some manual bhyve-grub 
command line work required.

  I had a lightly modified OpenBSD 5.4 working, though recent snapshots 
aren't - need to debug that.

later,

Peter.
