I can confirm the new firmware does fix the issue for us. Thanks for the quick resolution. It at least allowed me to script a proper workaround for our automated tests. It turns out my previous vm-bhyve workaround was a bad idea, and broke installs. I would assume vm-bhyve copies the iso to null.iso but I haven't had time to look further so I just reverted that patch, and applied the new firmware instead. Anyways thanks again.
