Can you try to reset the EFI configuration to the factory default? After installing non-FreeBSD OSs such as HP-UX or Linux, some configurations which prevent FreeBSD from working may be added. I am using a zx6000 with the following CPUs for a long time: CPU 0 present and active Vendor = "GenuineIntel" Serial# = 0002eaeb35795acf Version = 0x001f010504 (B1 Madison) CPU 1 present and active Vendor = "GenuineIntel" Serial# = 0002be5b6e50a43b Version = 0x001f010504 (B1 Madison) I experienced a similar boot failure on a new box where Linux was installed long time ago. At that time resetting all of EFI configuration to the factory default solved the issue. A boot log of a running box is something like this: ---- Entering /boot/kernel/kernel at 0xe000000004090000...
