I press CTRL + C and I get out of the looped warning about
"unimplemented service". Then I see:

Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
OK boot

I wanted to start FreeBSD debugging here - I pressed 'CTRL+A c', I was
dropped to the monitor.

FRom the monitor I typed:

Segmentation fault

IMO it shouldn't have crashed.
