So you need a 550 €-NUC with an i5 for testing? Really?
Well, as stated by multiple people, any somehow Windows 10 Pro machine will do, as you can just enable Hyper-V and installing a Gen2 VM with OPNSense shows the same issue. While I expect the issue for Gen2 VM's the same as with UEFI enabled bare-metal hardware, I can't of course not sure of that. HAving said that, it's extremely easy to create an environment that manifestates the issue.
For shits and giggles I created a Hyper-V gen1 VM, installed 19.1 and updated to the latest-as-of-yet 19.1.2, ran fine under gen1. Mounted the disk under a Gen2, and *poof*, still crash. So no, 19.1.2 didn't fix it, although we would have already known that.
While I totally understand the limited resources of the team (all respect for them!), it's getting hard for us to rely on this given that 18.x is now EOL (ie not secure in my book) but 19.x doesn't run at all.
I could offer a dedicated server to build weekly ISOs to reach a broader base of testers

I think it is UEFI specific also. Which would make sense considering the broad spectrum of hardware and virtual platforms being impacted.
Looking at the contents of the ISO and comparing between 18.7 and 19.1. The files supporting EFI boot have been updated. Being /BOOT/BOOT1.EFI and /BOOT/LOADER.EFI

https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/freebsd-uefi-secure-boot/ Bit easier to understand but is looking at Secure Boot
Looks to be a FreeBSD or HardenedBSD issue?
Edit: Tried a Hyper-V install using HardenedBSD-11-STABLE-v1100056.13-amd64-bootonly
Kernel Panic at the same point. Similar output, non responsive.
Hi all,
my name is Piotr Król and I'm the founder of 3mdeb Embedded Systems Consulting company. As stated here 3mdeb maintains PC Engines Open Source Firmware on behalf of PC Engines. Please note we are a licensed provider of coreboot consulting services. If you are doing some high-end security stuff with hardware please let us know - we are very interested in TPM, secure/verified boot, Xen, virtualization, SRTM/DRTM, and other things. We sometimes write about that on our blog .
We are working on our mission of Open Source Firmware for a network appliance. Soon you should hear about another known brand of a network appliance to switch to Open Source Firmware. Stay tuned.
I would like to thank tillsense, miroco and others for keeping this thread and exchanging valuable information related to PC Engines hardware and firmware.
Our goal is to provide open and healthy discussion about firmware quality, priorities and what can be improved. It would be great to get feedback from OPNsense community and understand your needs. We will be glad to address problems if there would be enough resources. We are committed to long term support and monthly releases.
P.S. Please note that there is some report about v4.9.0.2 instability here. This is because we enabled CPU Performance Boost, which in some workloads may give 20% boost - problem is that we can't validate all possible configuration so there may be some problems in the field. If some can afford to test we would appreciate your feedback.
