So, I tried to boot a i386 guest under bhyve, and no console was
detected...

an amd64 guest has console fine...

This is w/ a resonably recent current i386 kernel (r275062)...  Any
suggestions?

i386 guest dmesg:
Hypervisor: Origin = "bhyve bhyve "
real memory  = 536870912 (512 MB)
avail memory = 495017984 (472 MB)
Event timer "LAPIC" quality 400
ACPI APIC Table: <BHYVE  BVMADT  >
[...]
uart0: <16550 or compatible> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on acpi0

(no second line, no output after loading kernel when running vmrun.sh)...

amd64 guest dmesg:
Hypervisor: Origin = "bhyve bhyve "
real memory  = 18253611008 (17408 MB)
avail memory = 16573952000 (15806 MB)
Event timer "LAPIC" quality 400
ACPI APIC Table: <BHYVE  BVMADT  >
[...]
uart0: <16550 or compatible> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0
uart0: console (9600,n,8,1)

I can provide more if you'd like...
