  I think what happened is that the grub config file was setting up 
Ubuntu for a graphical console on the original VBox VM.

  grub-bhyve will auto-insert a "console=ttyS0" at the start of the 
kernel command-line, but any loater "console=" option will override this.

  You may have to edit your grub.conf and remove any "console=" options. 
There may be some additional steps that are required to enable a getty 
on the serial port - that tends to be distro-specific and I'm not sure 
what is required (if anything) for Ubuntu.

later,

Peter.
