I was able to get the install to work and boot from my VM, I tried first 
without the patch, received the same error, patched and rebuilt to 
install. The failure to Boot my hardware machine maybe a fluke, I did 
get some warnings that may hint at one of my mirror disks failing.

I did however run into some new issues, going to start a new thread 
looks like an update made since Beta3 snapshots were done on releng/13.0 
tree has broke dtrace.
