Apologies, this is within the wiki [1], however I must have missed it
when I was typing out the command.

However, I have tested it right now, even with the -w option the nmdm
device does not show up still.

When testing with stdio:

wrmsr to register 0xc0011029(0x3) on vcpu 0

Followed by:

sh: turning off NDELAY mode

Which I assume is bhyve forking into the background?

Anyways updated configuration is below:

bhyve -c 1 -m 1G -u -H -w \
        -s 0,amd_hostbridge \
        -s 3,ahci-hd,/home/bitflame/install75.img \
        -s 4,virtio-blk,/dev/zvol/zpool-storage/dns \
        -s 5,virtio-net,tap0 \
        -s 31,lpc -l com1,stdio \
        -l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd \
        dns

Bakul I have read your configuration, I haven't had time to test it, I
will test it shortly to see if something there resolves the problem.

Thank you for the help,
