Those lines were actually added in as a Hail Mary. In or out made no difference. Yes, all grub settings are irrelevant if you are using UEFI. With UEFI, the UEFI firmware is used instead of grub2-bhyve (even if the guest boots from UEFI into grub internally). As such, the loader="grub" option isn't actually needed here either. Also the "guest" configuration option was removed quite a while ago I was able to install XUbuntu with a simple UEFI + graphics config and using the graphical installer via VNC - uefi="yes" graphics="yes" xhci_mouse="yes" cpu=1 memory=512M network0_type="virtio-net" network0_switch="public" disk0_type="virtio-blk" disk0_name="disk0.img" > disk0_type="virtio-blk" >He suggested ahci-hd.
