Hm... changing pci slot numbers doesn't seem to change anything:

sudo /usr/sbin/bhyve -l bootrom,/home/novel/uefi/BHYVE_UEFI_20151002.fd
-c 2 -m 512 -A -I -u -H -P  -s 0:0,hostbridge -s
3:0,ahci-hd,/home/novel/bhyve_freebsd.img.bak  -s 31,lpc -l
com1,/dev/nmdm0A testvm 

and I get:

Boot Failed. EFI Hard Drive

However, when I do:

sudo bhyveload -m 512 -d /home/novel/bhyve_freebsd.img.bak testvm

and then:

sudo /usr/sbin/bhyve -c 2 -m 512 -A -I -u -H -P  -s 0:0,hostbridge -s
3:0,ahci-hd,/home/novel/bhyve_freebsd.img.bak  -s 31,lpc -l
com1,/dev/nmdm0A testvm

I can see a console:

(It fails to mount root though because my image is configured to virtio,
but I guess it's not relevant to this situation).
