Description symbolics@gmx.com 2013-10-28 16:00:00 UTC 
Bhyve requires that the console be explicitly set up in /etc/ttys. This
is an annoyance since it prevents standard amd64 media being used. For
example, I wanted to run the live environment from the 10-BETA1 ISO but
I couldn't because it lacks the line. Making a custom ISO is quite easy
but it should be necessary.

Fix: 

Various ways this could be solved. Apparently Devin Teske has a patch
for this?
How-To-Repeat: Boot 10-BETA1 ISO in Bhyve, choose live environment.
