Description wynkoop 2012-03-19 21:20:12 UTC 
qemu running on FreeBSD 9.0 AMD64 will not boot any of the
standard FreeBSD boot/distro media either x86 or AMD64.
It will boot various GNU/Linux distros and also 
mfsbsd-se-9.0-amd64.iso from http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/

How-To-Repeat:
qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom /path/to/freebsd/release/iso
qemu-system-i386 -cdrom /path/to/freebsd/release/iso

Fix: 

Unknown, but since Martin's ISO boots I suspect there is an error in the
way the official ISO has been produced.  I have not tried to boot from a
real cd or dvd.  The memstick images also refuse to boot in qemu.

Bummer we didn't fix this, but FreeBSD 9 is EOL.  :-(
