Description Jimmy Olgeni freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-05-26 09:51:01 UTC 
When using nmdm(4) as the console (like nmdm0A), grub-bhyve 0.30 will hang until the corresponding "B" device is open by another process.

For example:

# grub-bhyve -c /dev/nmdm0A -d /boot/grub -r hd0,msdos1 -m debian-7.8.0.map -M 1024 debian-7.8.0

will hang until any command accesses /dev/nmdm0B:

# kermit -l /dev/nmdm0B

O_NONBLOCK fix

Opening the console device with O_NONBLOCK seems to fix the issue.
