> Won't be dealing with ZFS management yet.

If I can give you my two cents, if you plan on doing any kind of
management tool, please always keep in mind that ZFS is not required by
bhyve. We initially started with VMs on ZFS just to find out how
terribly slow it was and we now switched anything to a standard UFS
partition with a tremendous performance improvement in the VMs. 

So please don't take for granted that bhyve == zfs. 

Thanks :-)

Fwiw, I use zvol to create bhyve guest system disks, with ufs inside.

Is it possible to prepare an image that would not require booting from
the ISO?
