Ohhh! Haha, what a silly mistake. 

I was trying to use bhyve with libvirt, and using the command:

virsh domxml-to-native --format bhyve-argv --xml ./vm.xml

To see what it was making. Libvirt has configured for 1G of ram, so I guess I shouldn't blindly trust the output that it's creating. This may also be a bug in lbivirt infact for not giving it the correct amount of memory.

Now with:

/usr/sbin/bhyveload -m 1G -d /var/lib/libvirt/images/FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso -c /dev/nmdm0A bhyve
/usr/sbin/bhyve -c 1 -m 1G -A -I -H -P -s 0:0,hostbridge -s 2:0,virtio-net,tap0,mac=52:54:00:dc:cd:c5 -s 4:0,ahci-cd,/var/lib/libvirt/images/FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso -s 3:0,ahci-hd,/var/lib/libvirt/images/bhyve_freebsd.img -Y -l com1,/dev/nmdm0A  bhyve

I get the output of the BSD loader from /dev/nmdm0B correctly. Following that, the bhyve command appears to hang after I recieve:

/tmp/bhyve.OLmK2S8     84:       Name (PPRT, Package ()
Remark   2095 - Effective AML package length is zero ^ 

No data seems to come through /dev/nmdm0B either. I'm sure that once again this is a PEBKAC though, so some tips would be most appreciated.
