Not sure if there is anything I can do on boot that might help with this, or if there is any way to help debug this issue, but it's for sure a change in 10.0, as any older releases are just fine. --- Howard Leadmon > -----Original Message----- > > I want to run FreeBSD 9.2 under KVM/QEMU, but this is not working due to > CPU problems.
