VirtualBox boot error screenshot

I can install other operating system guests in VirtualBox. I can install the amd64 edition of FreeBSD in VirtualBox. But when I try to install FreeBSD i386 in VirtualBox, then I get an error on the reboot after bsdinstall :/

This happens with both FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE and 11.2-STABLE.

Here are my packer settings for amd64 and i386, nothing too fancy:

Can you check what devices ? shows?

(In reply to Andrew Pennebaker from comment #0)
The DISTRIBUTIONS option in your bsdinstall script refers to lib32.txz but this is not present in the i386 package. If the file is not found during installation then the procedure will stuck and the installation will be incomplete; so next boot will fail also.
Initiated a pull request with a potential fix to your github packer-templates repo.

Please, is this reproducible with any more recent system?
