>Description:
I have Parallels virtual machine running FreeBSD. Releases 6 & 7 work
fine so I'd tried updating to 8. I get kernel crash (but carry on using
FreeBSD afterwards) and some services such as networking don't work. I
am not sure if this is a FreeBSD issue or parallels one and have submitted
a bug to Parallels. Unfortunately I cannot provide a text dump of the
crash but I could send a screenshot if this would help.

Rollback to FreeBSD works fine - great!
>How-To-Repeat:
Install FreeBSD using the image provided on the Parallels website and
try to update to 8.4 beta via 7.

 What version of Parallels are you using? I find 8-RC1 i386
 is working fine on Parallels 4.0 Build 3846 for Mac OS X
 
 Identical source compiled for amd64 also mostly works, but
 ifconfig leads to a crash. See my bug report kern/139423

 I've finally worked out what the problem is and how to work around it:  
 initialisation of the virtualised network interface with DHCP doesn't  
 work. If after booting, the interface is reconfigured using Sysinstall  
 (and I'm sure there is another more direct way) then everything works  
 fine. Both shared and dedicated network interfaces work fine if you follow  
 this. I have submitted another bug report to Parallels.

 Following up my previous post - there seems to be a bug in the way a DHCP  
 lease is obtained at startup. This *always* times out but I have no  
 problems if I run dhcpclient as soon as the system is up.
