The problem is not with number of VMs, but that console of VM (where kdb
enters to) is available only on the tty running bhyve(1), which is a
root terminal.

I'll email Peter and Neel asking on a solution for this?

Yes, I am using beamer. But my tex-foo is extremely bad. I have nothing
against if someone, who speaks tex fluently, walks through my slides and
commits directly to svn anything that makes them better.

Also, can anyone give me an advice on how can I make embedded notes for
lecturer? What I'd like to achieve is that I keep the slides material
and notes in one file, but after 'make' I got a pdf for presentation and
a text file with notes for me.
