Subject: Install of 13.0-RELEASE i386 with ZFS root hangs up

13.0-RELEASE i386 system simply loading zfs module results in system
hang up.
The steps to reproduce it are,
1. Boot with install media of 13.0-RELEASE i386
2. At the first menu of FreeBSD installer, select 'Shell'.
3. At the shell prompt, type `kldload zfs` and return key.
I confirmed hangup happens with VirtualBox, VMware Player and my bare
metal PC environement. So the problem doesn't depend on hardware.
And hangup also happens with 13-STABLE and 14-CURRENT.

Hello,
Does anyone succeed to install 13.0-RELEASE i386 with ZFS root?
I tried this with VirtualBox and VMware Player on Windows with
following VM condition.
* 4 CPUs
* 8GB memory
* 100GB disk
* Bridge mode NIC
But in both cases, VM gets high CPU load and hangs up after I moved
to 'YES' at 'ZFS Configuration' menu and type return key.
If I select UFS root installation completes successfully. So the
problem is specific to ZFS root.
Now I think I know what is the source of problem. After all, onDoes anyone succeed to install 13.0-RELEASE i386 with ZFS root?
