Has anyone else experienced it, or can anyone think of a possible work-around?
I am on Slackware, with a recent qemu-kvm from source.

I have to specify -no-acpi to boot NetBSD 6 Beta (amd64 and i386) and NetBSD -current.

Code:
qemu-system-x86_64 -no-acpi -m 512 -cdrom netbsd-6-amd64-beta.iso -boot c
Having said that, as far as I remember I didn't have that problem with 5.1.2.
