[Aryeh Friedman]

Just so you know there is a front end for bhyve (emuators/petitecloud) that
is waiting for a committer to commit it if you want to try it and give some
feedback on how to make it better see the announcement in
freebsd-virtualization... or download it from
ftp://ftp.petitecloud.org/petitecloud/aryeh/0.1/port-0.1.tar.gz
