bhyve console question

[Dan Mack]

For those of you tinkering with bhyve; quick question.  I've noticed that 
everything I type on the console ends up in /var/log/messages on the 
guest.  This includes all shell activity and login stuff.

Is this expected behaviour ?

When following the standard bhyve recipes on the interwebs, it appears as 
if all console activity is categorized as kernel.debug level messages, for 
example:

root at mcp:~ # tail /var/log/messages
