It's not the most elegant solution and can potentially use a lot of disk
space, but you might want to consider something
where in the petitecloud UI, if /dev/cd[n] or /dev/acd[n] is used as the
input device,
you rip the CD ( see: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=1195 )
and then pass the ripped ISO file as a parameter to bhyvectl.


I ran into a related problem with FreeNAS:

I'm actually fixing the FreeNAS installer so that it will work with BHyve.
