Have these issues been fixed? > I'm not sure of the exact issue you are referring to but I run a lot of OpenBSD 6.1 hosts under bhyve with GENERIC.MP. You can use either the grub-bhyve style boot or UEFI, both work fine. I have found the chyves framework (it is in packages) good for standing up and managing bhyve guests - with ZFS, especially for a team that are new to the platform. You have to hack the following /usr/local/lib/chyves files: chyves-guest-start chyves-properties chyves-resources to get 6.1 to install and boot (I yet to push those patches upstream). So to answer your question directly, there is currently no known issue in getting bhyve to run OpenBSD 6.1 on Intel or AMD platforms. Enjoy! Cheers, Jason.
