You may have noticed recent QEMU does not boot FreeBSD/amd64 SMP guest
on FreeBSD/amd64 -CURRENT host (i.e., you may have seen 'invalid RSDT
checksum' error while booting). That is because the QEMU BIOS (which
is actually Bochs BIOS with little modification) has a little bug in
it. If you experience the issue, grab a file from here:
http://people.freebsd.org/~jkim/qemu-bios.bin
and replace /usr/local/share/qemu/bios.bin with it. The QEMU patch
against Bochs BIOS is here:
http://people.freebsd.org/~jkim/qemu-bios.diff
Basically it wasn't clearing RSDT before checksum calculation. ;-)
FYI...
