 Hello,
 
 This is because IO-APIC is not enable in the virtual machine.
 With virtual-box when you create the machine, you have the choise
 between "FreeBSD" and "FreeBSD 64". The choice FreeBSD does not enable
 the IO-APIC but "FreeBSD 64" does. I don't know if we should considered
 this problem to be a bug in FreeBSD.
 
 I use a 9.0 beta 2 amd64 on Virtual box without issue.
 
 Regards.
