difficulty running amd64cd.iso in HVM instance

["Michael Litchard" <michael%schmong.org@localhost>]

Okay, at last I have the kernel output from my attempt to run the
amd64.iso as an HVM instance.

com0 at isa0 port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4: ns8250 or ns16450, no fifo
com0: console
fdc0 at isa0 port 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2
uvm_fault(0xffffffff810defc0, 0xffffffff804e8000, 2) -> e
fatal page fault in supervisor mode
trap type 6 code 3 rip ffffffff804d02b0 cs 8 rflags 10046 cr2
ffffffff804e800c cpl 0 rsp ffffffff81156e40
kernel: page fault trap, code=0
Stopped in pid 0.1 (system) at  0xffffffff804d02b0:     movb    $0x90,0(%rax)


I googled this, but could not find any solution relevant to my situation.
I would appreciate any feedback.
