freebsd bhyve instance does not show kernel messages after boot screen

[David P. Discher]

Try in /boot/loader.conf of the VM :

console=userboot

or after beastie drop to loader OK promot  and try :

set console=userboot

I think 11.x should fall back to userboot in bhyve if vidconsole of comconsole were set.

(This is assuming non-EFI booting - using bhyveloader ).
