  Thanks for the info. There's definitely an interrupt issue with virtio 
on bhyve and DFly. The MSI capability confuses DFly, but when I took 
that out, interrupt storms resulted in hanging the VM.

  Using ahci-hd instead of virtio-blk will give you a working boot, 
though without networking until the interrupt situation is debugged :(

  On this:

0x75 0x0e 0xeb 0x05 0xb9 0x00 0x00 0x00] at 0xffffffff80a2e0a7

  From DFly kgdb, the RIP is

(kgdb) x/i 0xffffffff80a2e217
    0xffffffff80a2e217 <mptable_search_sig+108>:
     cmpl   $0x5f504d5f,(%rdi,%rcx,4)

  .. so it's the MPTable scan that is failing. I'll look into this one 
as well.

later,

Peter.
