The handbook is not explicit about this, but it looks like you're trying
to boot an arm64 image on amd64, which definitely won't work anyway.
bhyve requires hardware virtualization support.  You'd need to use QEMU
or another emulator.  To that end there's a wiki page with some recipes
for various platforms at https://wiki.freebsd.org/QemuRecipes in
addition to some info in the handbook.
