+.Ar vmname
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is used to load a
+.Fx
+guest inside a
+.Xr bhyve 4
+virtual machine.
+.Pp
+.Nm
+is based on
+.Xr loader 8
+and will present an interface identical to
+.Fx
+loader on the user's terminal.
+.Pp
+The virtual machine is identified as
+.Ar vmname
+and will be created if it does not already exist.
+.Sh OPTIONS
+The following options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl m Ar lowmem
+.Ar lowmem
+is the amount of memory allocated below 4GB in the guest's physical address
+space.
+.Pp
+The default value of
+.Ar lowmem
+is 256MB.
+.It Fl M Ar highmem
+.Ar highmem
+is the amount of memory allocated above 4GB in the guest's physical address
+space.
+.Pp
+The default value of
+.Ar highmem
+is 0MB.
+.It Fl d Ar disk-path
+The
+.Ar disk-path
+is the pathname of the guest's boot disk image.
+.It Fl h Ar host-path
+The
+.Ar host-path
+is the directory at the top of the guest's boot filesystem.
+
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+To create a virtual machine named
+.Ar freebsd-vm
+that boots off the ISO image
+.Pa /freebsd/release.iso
+and has 1GB memory allocated to it:
+
+.Dl "bhyveload -m 256 -M 768 -d /freebsd/release.iso freebsd-vm
+
+In the example above the 1GB allocation is split in two segments:
+.Bl -dash -compact
+.It
+256MB below the 4GB boundary (0MB - 256MB)
+.It
+768MB above the 4GB boundary (4096MB - 4864MB)
