Hi all,

I've got a x86_64 Linux host system and I'm trying to get FreeBSD
running in a Qemu VM (qemu version 0.9.1). I downloaded
7.0-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso and first attempt to boot results in:

ath_hal: 0.9.2.3 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5215, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413)
hptrr: HPT RocketRAID controller driver v1.1 (Feb 28 2008 10:34:18)

Fatal trap 9: general protection fault while in kernel mode
cpuid = 0; apic id = 00

So I tried running qemu with -no-acpi and then it boots further but
hangs with

Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/md0

Third try to boot I chose the verbose loggin option and I get

Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/md0
start_init: trying /sbin/init
start_init: trying /sbin/oinit
start_init: trying /sbin/init.back
start_init: trying /rescue/init
start_init: trying /stand/sysinstall

which suggests the kernel is looking for but not finding init.

Any clues to why this isn't working.

TIA,
Erik
