Here is a fully tested/debugged hand made script to do what you
requested (added bonus is the passthrough):

#!/bin/sh

# nvidia1030.rom

ifconfig tap1 destroy
ifconfig tap1 create
ifconfig tap1 up
ifconfig bridge0 addm tap1 up
echo net done
sleep 5
bhyvectl --destroy --vm=6222f881ad268c17
nohup /usr/sbin/bhyve -S -c cores=8 -m 8192 -AI -H -P -w -s
