9.0-RELEASE amd64: No Boot on VMWare Workstation

[Larry Rosenman]

Ok, I'm just impatient.  I let it sit, and it eventually came up.

Would it be possible for the next 9.x release to set hw.memtest.tests="0"
when we discover we're under a hypervisor to avoid doing the tests? (or
default it to 0 in the installer kernel?)?
