I have only one testing bhyve VM guest but I think it was created 
without EFI partition / loader:

This is inside running VM:

root at kotel ~/# gpart show
=>      40  52428720  vtbd0  GPT  (25G)
         40         8         - free -  (4.0K)
         48      1024      1  freebsd-boot  (512K)
       1072  44040192      2  freebsd-ufs  (21G)
   44041264   8386560      3  freebsd-swap  (4.0G)
   52427824       936         - free -  (468K)

Kind regards
