I have documented the null modem serial console access at bhyve.org/faq In short: -S 31,uart,stdio Becomes: -S 31,uart,/dev/nmdm0A Before starting the VM, run: kldload nmdm Start the VM but note that it will not display any output when booted. Connect to the serial interface with: cu -l /dev/nmdm0B -s 9600 nmdmN is a 32bit in so you should have plenty to work with. The pty style of console is more involved and I am experimenting with it.
