It's a trap! I'm able to focus on this error now. When upgrading from 18.7.10_x to 19.1, it crashes the Dell Inspiron 3470. I'm installing the base 18.7 with no configuration, no plugins - install and update. I even updated to the latest Dell bios (1.5.11). There is some sort of hardware incompatibility in the new kernel. Never had an issue prior to 19.1.
Fatal trap 12: Page fault while in kernel mode

Stopped at fpuinit+0x179: orb $0x10,ctx_switch_xsave+0x3
After the crash, I ran db> bt

Here is a screenshot.

I was able to get it to boot by selection option 5 at boot time and selecting the kernel.old. It booted with kernel 11.1, but the base was 11.2. It then went through some config, but Opnsense appears to still be on 18.7.10_4, not 19.1. So? Problem with FreeBSD 11.2 kernel?

I downloaded OPNSense 19.1 image to liveboot the USB and it also crashed. So I downloaded FreeBSD 11.2 to test it and it booted to the live OS fine.

Have you checked if your hard drive is fine? Perhaps do a Ram like memtest86+ test?
Ubuntu live can check S.M.A.R.T. status or other various tools can check sectors, however you mentioned even the Liveboot failed. Perhaps as an experiment try booting into live mode with hdd/ssd disconnected.
I noticed if on Windows side when I try to use rufus (usb tool) to write the .img after unbzp2 it it with BSOD, so generally i just download it on a linux live distro and dd to the proper flash drive. PFsense also did that, perhaps i need to use a different tool, like physdiskwrite or w/e. May i ask how you create your USB media?
I would start with a fresh install media rather than a upgrade to reduce likely problems

I stated in my last post that I tried fresh media. It won't boot to the 19.1 live disk, which requires no hard drive. Doesn't have any problems with versions prior to 19.1, so it's something in that build that's causing the issue. It does likely have something to do with hardware, but most likely a compatibility problem, not faulty memory or disk.
I used Etcher to create the boot thumb drive for the fresh install. Had no issues with any other linux distro booting from it, including freebsd 11.2.
Looks to me to be an issue with the FPU check for xsave. I'll be out for the weekend, but will return to this thread Monday. Thanks for any help all!

So I tried the opnsense-bootstrap and it fails with the same kernel issue.
I installed the FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE without issue. Ran the proper commands:
# pkg install ca_root_nss
# fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/opnsense/update/master/bootstrap/opnsense-bootstrap.sh
# sh ./opnsense-bootstrap.sh
After install / reboot - same fatal trap issue with Opnsense 19.1

I think OPNsense uses HardenedBSD 11.2
