Upcoming FreeBSD 10.x + bhyve ...

  It is. The easiest is using the recent change (r258668) which allows 
bhyveload and bhyve to direct output to a tty instead of just stdio.

  Use nmdm(4) to create a bidirectional null-modem, point 
bhyveload/bhyve at one end, and then use any mechanism to attach to the 
other end (cu, screen, socat etc) at any time. Remote access can be 
built on top of this if needed.

  I'm looking to MFC this particular change back to 10.0.

later,

Peter.
