George, I've had limited success in running Linux guests using UEFI. When using the NON-CSM firmware, I can manually edit the GRUB menu to force a serial console to be used. I can then boot into the install environment and get the distro installed to the hard disk. After installation is done, I can start the guest with UEFI firmware again and have a usable OS. There is a pretty major catch though, after I destroy the guest using bhyvectl, then try to boot it once more with UEFI, it will fail to boot correctly (hard drive error, if I recall). I never got as far as trying it out with the CSM firmware, though. I've tried this on a few different Linux "flavors" but I have not tried Arch specifically. I hope any of this helps! -Trent
