--- Comment #4 from Phillip R. Jaenke <prj@rootwyrm.com> ---
(In reply to Roger Leigh from comment #3)
Yep, confirmed now this is not AMD-specific. Reproduced on a BabyDragon Gen=
.5
and a BabyDragon Gen.3.
Looking over things more closely, I am far more confident that imp@'s fix f=
or
bhyve is what broke VMware. I think the PCI probe is what's causing it.
However, that makes it an open-ended question of is it FreeBSD at fault or =
is
it VMware at fault? If VMware's response is malformed, well, boom. But if
FreeBSD's probe is malformed, also boom.

We need to get a VMware engineer involved here to sort it out. I think we're
running afoul of assumptions about behavior made on both sides. FreeBSD ass=
umed
where a video device would be previously, and assumed a reasonable response=
 to
a probe, while VMware may have assumed FreeBSD wouldn't probe the video dev=
ice,
and may not be answering in a sane fashion.
