First, I know nothing about byhve.

One thing about Debian ISO images is that they're prepared with
`isohybrid`.  Which means they're both a valid ISO image and a valid
MBR paritioned disk image.  That's why you can flash them to thumb
drives and then boot from them.

Other distributions' ISOs may not be treated that way.
