I'd start with a kernel built with BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER, DDB and KDB
enabled. Then when it appears to hang try to break into the debugger
by sending a break on the serial console. If that works try to bug
virtualization@ and probably bz@ directly for information they
want as given that you mention vnet it sounds like you're not
seeing this problem without VIMAGE.
