You may have noticed recent QEMU does not boot FreeBSD/amd64 SMP guest on FreeBSD/amd64 -CURRENT host (i.e., you may have seen 'invalid RSDT checksum' error while booting). That is because the QEMU BIOS (which is actually Bochs BIOS with little modification) has a little bug in it. If you experience the issue, grab a file from here: http://people.freebsd.org/~jkim/qemu-bios.bin and replace /usr/local/share/qemu/bios.bin with it. The QEMU patch against Bochs BIOS is here: http://people.freebsd.org/~jkim/qemu-bios.diff Basically it wasn't clearing RSDT before checksum calculation. ;-) FYI... Jung-uk Kim
