Uhmm .. It seems it doesn't works. When I try to launch a FreeBSD
guest install with vmrun.sh script:

root at tstbhyve:/usr/share/examples/bhyve # sh
/usr/share/examples/bhyve/vmrun.sh -c 1 -m 512M -t tap0 -d
/dev/zvol/zroot/export/vmachines/fbsddnssrv -i -I
/export/isoimages/FreeBSD-10.2-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso fbsddnssrv
Launching virtual machine "fbsddnssrv" ...
vm_create: Device not configured
root at tstbhyve:/usr/share/examples/bhyve #

dmesg out about this processor:

As you can see, virtualization support is enabled: "AMD

Maybe the problem is with zvol used to install this guest??
