 It appears to be crashing because VMWare is raising a privileged instruction 
 trap in the OS when it invokes 'hlt'.  That seems like a bug in VMWare.  There
 isn't a way to disable 'hlt' from the loader prompt unfortunately.
 
 Can you show the output of 'sysctl machdep.idle' under your working kernel?
