  Looks like device.hints isn't being sourced in by the loader (aka 
bhyveload in this case). This is done on a stock system from:

% grep device.hints /boot/defaults/loader.conf
loader_conf_files="/boot/device.hints /boot/loader.conf 
/boot/loader.conf.local"

  Any chance on your system that you've overridden loader_conf_files, or 
are using a custom setup for loader config ?

later,

Peter.
