I have tested several snapshot ISOs available for download:
FreeBSD-13.0-CURRENT-amd64-20190822-r351363-disc1.iso - OK
FreeBSD-13.0-CURRENT-amd64-20190829-r351591-disc1.iso - OK
FreeBSD-13.0-CURRENT-amd64-20190906-r351901-disc1.iso - FAIL
FreeBSD-13.0-CURRENT-amd64-20190913-r352265-disc1.iso - FAIL
FAIL being VM shutdown after loading kernel/modules and displaying "EFI
framebuffer information". Relevant messages in the VM log are rather
unhelpful:
2019-09-18T14:47:12.397Z| vcpu-0| I125: Guest: Firmware has transitioned
to runtime.
2019-09-18T14:47:12.434Z| vcpu-0| I125: Msg_Post: Error
2019-09-18T14:47:12.434Z| vcpu-0| I125: [msg.efi.exception] The firmware
encountered an unexpected exception. The virtual machine cannot boot.
Any hints on debugging this further?
