New FreeBSD-10.0-RC5 install fails when setting administrator password SOLVED

Thanks Dimitri, that solved the problem!

fwiw,

The processor in the vm on my T61 ThinkPad is identified by fbsd as "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7300").

I installed 10.0-RC5 without problem on a newer Dell laptop with "VT-x/AMD-V" enabled in VirtualBox (processor "Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2520M"), but errors running the vm on the T61 (before disabling "VT-x/AMD-V"):
1. failed to start devd (result of "Cannot parse /etc/devd.conf at line 202")
2. failed precmd routine for sshd (result of "DEF_LOAD_BIO:missing equal sign...conf_def.c:362:line 1")
