 This and port-i386/46061 look (at least at the first glance) similar
 to what I see with VBox.  I have a bit out of date current tree, from
 mid-July or so.  A GENERIC kernel with some more stuff added to it
 (PCIVERBOSE and some more) would not boot, getting stuck in an endless
 trap loop pretty early in uvm init.  Trimming the kernel size a bit
 would make it boot.  Now, this well may be a VBox bug, but I wonder if
 you can try to boot a trimmed kernel config on your machine to see if
 it boots (unfortunately I will only be able to test this myself on
 real hardware in a few days from now).
