  I can get that error if vmm.ko isn't loaded, but in that case the 
bhyvectl command would also error out and it doesn't appear to in your case.

  Some questions: Is this on FreeBSD CURRENT ? Does grub-bhyve work 
without the -S option ? Or, with -S but a different VM name ? Does the 
issue persist after a reboot ?

later,

Peter.
