I don't know either. But, you could try to disable the vmt(4) driver at boot. At the boot prompt, type "boot -c" to trigger the UKC. At the UKC prompt, type "disable vmt". Then type "quit". If your system boots up without errors, you can preserve this setting by using config(8): sudo /usr/sbin/config -e -f /bsd and typing "disable vmt" again. Save this by typing "quit". Good luck, Norman.
