Since I have not used bhyve-grub personally yet I can not recommend what
the correct loader command line but if bhyve-script is in anyway related to
vmrun.sh I would be highly suspicious of any command lines you manage to
extract from it since they are often not the ones actual called.

You can keep them anywhere no need for a special volume (mater of fact I
was just reusing the name of one of the diretoriess that PC creates during
install even without it being a different vol [just assumes any FS
boundaries are the host OS's problem)... you can put the disk image any
where (your home directory would be fine for example)
