VM on bhyve not booting

Last night I installed updates on my FreeNAS box and rebooted it. As expected my network died, but then it never came back, which I hadn’t expected.

My FreeNAS box provides backup storage space, a local Debian mirror and a mirror of talks from recent conferences. It also runs a couple of virtual machines and one of these provides my local DNS resolver.

I hooked up the VNC console to the virtual machine and the problem looked to be that it was booting from the Debian installer CD. I removed the CD from the VM and rebooted, thinking that would be the end of it, but nope:
