>Description:
I attempted an install of the OS from media:

FreeBSD-9.0-RC1-amd64-bootonly.iso

in a virtual machine instance using VirtualBox 4.1.4 on Mac OS X 10.6 running on MacBook Pro.

The installer pretty much fails out of the gate. Here is the output:

===============================================================

ACPI Exception: AE_ALREADY_EXISTS, Unable to install System Control Interrupt Handler (20110527/evevent-137)
acpi0: Could not enable ACPI: AE_ALREADY_EXISTS
device_attach: acpi0 attach returned 6

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
cpuid = 0; apic id = 00

                        = DPL 0, pres 1, long 1, def32 0, gran 1
processor eflags        = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process         = 0 (swapper)
trap number             = 12
panic: page fault
cpuid = 0
Uptime = 1s
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort

===============================================================

I will investigate whether boot screen ACPI options provide a good workaround.
>How-To-Repeat:
a. Install VirtualBox
b. Create a VM instance. I used 60 G dynamic disk and 1 G ram.
c. Boot from ISO file FreeBSD-9.0-RC1-amd64-bootonly.iso
d. Press ENTER at boot screen, proceed with default install

Hi, 

I can't reproduce this problem.  Can you please try the -RC2 ISO 
(the links on the website were updated yesterday) and see if you 
still experience the issue? 

If you still have issues, can you also please provide more information 
on the host machine (amount of RAM, number of CPUs, etc), as well as 
the settings for the VM you are creating? 

Thanks.

 The fix for this issue is to enable IO APIC in the VirtualBox settings.
 With this feature enabled, FreeBSD boots fine.
 
 This issue can be closed.
