System installed in VirtualBox, uname -a:

FreeBSD maciej-FreeBSD 10.0-RC2 FreeBSD 10.0-RC2 #0 r259404: Sun Dec 15 11:45:13 UTC 2013     root@snap.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

>Description:
i386 system (10.0 RC2) was installed in the VirtualBox and from the first boot after installation there is a message as in synopsis.
Interestingly, when the /etc/devd.conf file is viewed with less, no problem can be seen, but vi shows a very long series of ^@ special characters from the middle of the 202 line.

Problem is repeatable.

It looks like there is some problem with text parsing.
The system does not work properly due to this (no network, for example).

Note a similar discussion:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2013-September/044816.html

Note: 9.2-RELEASE (i386) works fine in the same environment.

 I've lost a lot of time some days ago with similar problems
 (vbox+10.0+i386), so maybe it is still worth replying.
 
 Try with #1 here:
 http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2013-October/046081.html
 It's just a workaround and with this setting you are forced to set 1
 CPU only, and without virtualization extensions the VM will be slow.
 
 I hope that this will help to shed some light on the problem.
 
 Maybe also all the problems reported here have the same root (not sure
 the OP is running on VirtualBox):
