 Just a quick followup to note the following:
 
 Problem still happens in 8.2 with a newer BIOS (1.15).
 
 Tested with 9.0-RC1(both with same BIOS as before(1.12) and the last
 one) and with this version of the system I get a reboot instead of a
 lockup. The point of lockup is the same, when calling BIOS int 0x15
 function 0xe820.
 
 As an additional reference the hang/reboot happens in file
 /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/libi386/biosmem.c, line 63.
 
 svn of /usr/src is 226679, revision of the mentioned file is 200219.
