Hi Alex,

I don't see the same (maybe a newer version of grub-bhyve).
Instead:

grub> linux (cd)/isolinux/vmlinuz
grub> initrd (cd)/isolinux/initrd.img
grub> boot

And then grub-bhyve crashes:

2014-11-20 16:05:11.251+0000: 34493981696: error : bhyveMonitorIO:88 : Guest centos got signal 11 and crashed

(I am running bhyve under libvirt. The "monitor" patch is
pending upstream.)

I'll give 7.0 a whirl...
