This sounds like the problem I was investigating back in January. The freeze-instantly-with-black-screen behavior happens if you have a kernel built with debug options (the default for -CURRENT). If you build without, you get a hang or kernel trap after the message about cryptosoft0. For me, reverting r269278 made both problems go away. I don't know exactly what's wrong with that patch, and haven't gotten around to poking at it further than what's described in https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=216123 regards, tom lane
