Yup, took me some time to realize that on this experimental box portsnap
was not running nightly...

I did have that, from his announcement,
But trying to follow that, I get:
---
freetest# bhyvectl --destroy --vm=ubuntu
freetest# grub-bhyve -r cd0 -m ./device.map -M 2048 ubuntu

                                            GNU GRUB  version 2.00

freetest# bhyve -c 2 -m 2048M -H -P -A \
?     -s 0:0,hostbridge \
?     -s 1:0,lpc -s 2:0,virtio-net,tap3 \
?     -s 3,ahci-cd,ubuntu-13.10.iso -l com1,stdio \
?     -s 4,virtio-blk,/dev/zvol/zfsroot/ubuntu ubuntu
vm exit rdmsr 0xc0010015, cpu 0
---

And I've seen discussions in other threads about reading/writing cpu
registers where some bits should be 0, but trap when being set....
(Or something close to this...???)

So it could again be due to the amdsrc tree differences?

--WjW

And again this is running on my AMD-board.
/dev/zvol/zfsroot/ubuntu is a 10G zvol
tap3 is created and up
and ./ubuntu-13.10.iso is the ubuntu server ISO suggested by Rudy.
