parallels vm boot screen

..
FreeBSD/x86 bootstrap loader revision 1.1
cd0: read 1 sector(s) from 8094719 to 0xffffe000 (8x8000): 0x1

panic: zfree(0xe4e9690,8224): wild pointer
--> Press a key on the console to reboot <--

- Parallels v15
- sha of downloaded images matches
- happens with mini iso and full iso
- doesn't matter if I use SATA or IDE connection in vm
- doesn't matter if I change emulation/hypervisor engine in vm
Comment 1 Ken Rachynski 2020-01-06 20:04:37 UTC 
I reported this to Parallels and received the following reply:

"Please be informed that the FreeBSD is supported till 12 and hence will not support 12.1 or later. We will take this as a feedback and forward it to our Product Management Team for their consideration."

I got this problem. 
On the screen I have this.

I use mainboard intel DX38BT with 8GB Ram
hdd ssd MTRON 64GB.  

What should I do ?

Oddly enough, this very same error occurs when booting a non-VM image of FreeBSD-12.1-RELEASE as well. So far I tried the following images (uploaded to the official FreeBSD FTP server on 2019-11-01, at around 5 am):
- FreeBSD-12.1-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso
- FreeBSD-12.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso

I will test also -STABLE and -CURRENT images just in case.

Image FreeBSD-12.1-STABLE-amd64-20200326-r359308-bootonly.iso no longer shows the error and boots properly.

OK, I will be to wait.
If you want, I can add some photo with error.
Comment 6 Jonathan 2020-10-04 18:36:27 UTC 
Set vm.bios.efi = 1 to the boot flag in the boot order settings. That should resolve the issue.
Comment 7 Jonathan 2020-10-05 13:13:10 UTC 
(In reply to Jonathan from comment #6)
Let me clarify: this is the boot order within parallels settings.
