Hi Andriy,

> Has anyone tried to boot an illumos-based OS in bhyve?
> Any success stories?

  The Illumos kernel makes some BIOS calls so it can't be booted with 
grub-bhyve/multiboot - a triple-fault will result on the first BIOS 
call. It will need the UEFI/CSM firwmare work that's currently being 
worked on.

later,

Peter.
