Running FreeNAS 11 U2

I don't have an issue running the VM from the WebUI, they run fine but I'd like to see if I can have more control over bhyve by running the VM from command line as my Ubuntu VM via TightVNC seems to be locked to 1024x768 screen size.

From the WebUI VM option there is a Start button, when this is clicked what command is run to the Host OS, I presume it is bhyve with a bunch of options but when I query the process from command using ps aux all I see is the following :-

Code:
root		3548   0.0 11.7 2116292 1463032  -  S	Mon19	  51:28.60 bhyve: arch (bhyve)


I was expecting to see something along the lines of :-

Code:
 
bhyve -A -P -H -c 1 -m 2 \
	-s 0:0,hostbridge \
	-s 31,lpc \
	-l com1,/dev/nmdm1A \
	-l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd \
	-s 3,virtio-net,tap1 \
	-s 29,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5902,w=1024,h=768,wait \
	-s 30,xhci,tablet \
	-s 4,ahci-hd,/dev/zvol/vm/ubuntu/os Ubuntu


In the above example there is an option to set the display width and height, I don't seem to be able to find any way to change it via the WebUI in FreeNAS, Ubuntu itself as it is locked and I only have 1 option and TightVNC doesn't have any preferred screensize but full screen.

As I understand it, the next version (FreeNAS 11.1) will have options to change the screen resolution, etc.
