--- Comment #13 from Christian Ullrich <chris@chrullrich.net> ---
I cannot reproduce the SCSI/NVMe behavior in 16.1; it fails with either
configuration. Which type of SCSI controller did you use?

However, I noticed something else potentially interesting.

It has been mentioned elsewhere
(https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D244906#c8) that bootin=
g from
the ISO works, but then the reboot into the installed system fails.

What I have not seen described yet is that rebooting into the ISO _also_ fa=
ils,
even on a VM that does not include any hard disk at all.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create VM.
2. Remove hard disk from VM.
3. Boot into 12.2-RELEASE disc1 ISO.
4. Select "Shell" at the first prompt.
5. # reboot

The VM fails with the same firmware error message upon reboot.

6. Delete the VM's .nvram file.
7. Power on VM.

The VM successfully boots into the installer image.

I previously assumed there was a difference between the loader in the ISO a=
nd
what ends up on the virtual disk, but instead, the problem seems to persist=
 in
EFI variables or something else in the NVRAM.
