Works!
$ uname -a; freebsd-version -ku
FreeBSD  11.0-RELEASE-p9 FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p9 #0: Tue Apr 11 08:48:40 
UTC 2017 
root at amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64
11.0-RELEASE-p9
11.0-RELEASE-p10

So something is broken with those very specific 11-stable virtual 
machines. I went back to March and found one that works:
FreeBSD  11.0-STABLE FreeBSD 11.0-STABLE #0 r315416: Thu Mar 16 17:20:57 
UTC 2017


Very interesting the official image has been 'revoked':

Thanks, I'll check that out. I think a little more than a year ago there 
was a freeBSD journal article by Steve Willis or Brad Davis (I think!) 
about vagrant and packer.

In addition to that article (if I still have it), do you have any 
reading material about vagrant/packer and making own images?
