-i is not a valid option for vm create .... What are you trying to do here?

I have a page on vm-bhyve, which also has a link to vermaden's page on it (which is more complete).

Windows or Linux on vm-bhyve

But in your case, I think all you need is

 vm create -t centos7 myvm

with myvm being the name of the vm. For most things I like to also have -m 4096 (-m is for memory) and you can have -c for number of cpus, as well as -s for size (default is 20G I think)
