:So the amd64 snapshot didn't boot but the i386 one did? Interesting.
:Thanks a lot for investigating this.

Yup. My guess is that the 64-bit boot issue that early in the boot
sequence is something stupid simple. It looks it from the consistency
of the crash.
I'm going to leave FreeBSD-HEAD installed on the box for the next
two or three months to run some comparative tests (with WITNESS turned
off of course), and to work on an ACPI link code port to DragonFly.
During that period I am happy to run test kernels for people working on
AMD/64-bit, ACPI, or NVE related work. All that is required is that
you email me a 'fetch' line to retrieve a tar of the /boot/kernel
tree you want me to test, or that you email me the 'fetch' line to
retrieve e.g. a bootonly or disc1 ISO that you want me to boot the box
with to see how far it gets.
