I am currently running Fbsd15-7725-2 15.0-STABLE.

When i try to install a vm - all i see is a blank screen when installing FBSD 14. When i try to install fbsd15 as vm the VM hangs at this point

FBsd15 isntallation hangs at

I tried the bootloader as UEFI as well, but nothing seemed to work.

The same steps worked like a charm on FreeBSD 14.

Any help on how to move forward ?

I have no experience with both bhyveload and vm-bhyve. I'm only using UEFI. Is edk2-bhyve up-to-date?

Can you elaborate "nothing seems to work" concerning UEFI? Do you use a VNC client? If yes, can you connect to the vm?
 
Both vermaden and myself have pages. vermaden's is better, but my page has a link to his. Maybe one, or both of them could help.
