Be used exclusively by the guest OS and not the host OS 2. The host OS needs to not even load drivers for the device(s) For example on the GPU this means you would need to boot the host from a serial port and/or GPU that is not used by the host and not loaded at boot time and then, and only then, can you pass it through to the guest OS (wither or not the guest OS recognizes it is an other question though). As to good stable bhyve invocation I recommend you look at the source code/output of either the shell based ports for making bhyve VM's or at PetiteCloud (if you do the second I would be very interested in the results so I can incorporate them into a future version of PC). -- Aryeh M.
