Does it crash with less than 4G of RAM for you as well?

VirtIO issue isn't specific to UEFI but also happens with Grub2.

I've used a daily snapshot where the installer still doesn't support
GPT/EFI yet. Tested as

  $ bhyve -l com1,stdio -l bootrom,BHYVE_UEFI.fd -m 4G -s 0,hostbridge \
    -s 31,lpc -s 4,virtio-blk,/dev/md0 -s 5,virtio-net,tap0 vm0

vs.

  $ qemu-system-x86_64 -nographic -bios OVMF.fd -m 256M \
    -drive if=virtio,file=/dev/md0 -net nic,model=virtio -net tap,ifname=tap0

after preparing image as follows
