According to John Baldwin in
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2006-September/028774.html
:

"Because other OS's run the BIOS in real mode, and we run it in vm86 mode and
we don't emulate enough instructions in vm86 mode for the Compaq/HP BIOS."

In another post
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2006-September/028773.html
he refers to a patch at
