[Bug 1318803] [NEW] FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE installer does not boot (kernel trap 12 with interrupts disabled)

[Andre Goree]

Public bug reported:

This is similar (or perhaps the exact same bug that was thought to be
fixed) to this[1] issue on Debian.

Essentially, I cannot boot either FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE nor Freebsd
9.2-RELEASE on KVM/QEMU guests, as they fail with a kernel panic with
the following error message:

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode

You can see the full messages (both with acpi and with it disabled)
here[2], though I don't imagine they'll be of much importance.  This
seems to have to do with 'atkbd' on FreeBSD having some sort of issue
with seabios -- specifically version 1.7.4-x.  Just as in the
aforementioned bug, if I downgrade to seabios version 1.7.3, everything
works fine.

Is this something I should take up with the Debian devs?

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using:
Description:    Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS
Release:        12.04
2) The version of the package you are using:
seabios:
  Installed: 1.7.4-4~cloud0
  Candidate: 1.7.4-4~cloud0
  Version table:
 *** 1.7.4-4~cloud0 0

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

~# virsh version
Compiled against library: libvirt 1.2.2
Using library: libvirt 1.2.2
Using API: QEMU 1.2.2
Running hypervisor: QEMU 1.7.91
3) What you expected to happen:
I expect 'virsh start $freebsd_image' to start the image without incident.
4)What happened instead:
The image indeed starts, however during boot, it runs into a kernel panic.
