Hmm, I keep seem to be getting this:
/usr/home/alfred # bhyvectl --get-all --cpu=0 --vm=freebsd-stable
lowmem        0x0000000000000000/536870912
highmem        0x0000000100000000/0
errno = 16
/usr/home/alfred # bhyvectl --get-all --cpu=1 --vm=freebsd-stable
lowmem        0x0000000000000000/536870912
highmem        0x0000000100000000/0
errno = 16

I will try this next.  Thank you.
