I get a kernel page fault with the DragonFly installer on VirtualBox.

MD5 (dfly-x86_64-5.8.0_REL.iso) = 4c14c4e7395c6b85f95f7dc86ad9455a

Installation steps:

Default choice in the boot loader
Login as "installer"
Install DragonFly BSD
Legacy BIOS
Disk ad0
Use Entire Disk
Use UFS
Default settings

VirtualBox machine configuration:

dmesg:

The crash is reproduced each time the installer is run; let me know if I 
can get other useful information. I got the dmesg by logging into the 
install CD as "root" and establishing a netcat server to pipe it to the 
host OS. I haven't encountered a crash at the root console.
