Hi Neel,
I've just discovered that on an headless server I had the same problem too,
then concluded that I need to check some serial port behavior change and
not bhyve bug.
I believe the default templates for /etc/ttys (like src/etc/etc.amd64/ttys)
need to be updated for replacing "std.9600" by "3wire" for avoiding this
regression on new installation.

Sorry for the noise regarding bhyve,

Olivier
