Piotr, Thanks to work from Peter G, bhyve has been patched[1] to fix the PS/2 mouse issue in 9front. With this fixed, I was able to get 9front installed and running from a bhyve virtual machine using virtio-blk emulation. I was even able to set up networking[2] with virtio-net. Using ahci-hd and Intel 1000 emulation did not work for me. I'd also like to note that I had better success with partitioning the virtual hard drive as MBR in the installer, over GPT. I have heard of GPT working for some people, though. I uploaded a simple script to Gist[3] that I used to get this done, but as long as you use Virtio drivers you should be fine.
