Are you sure you are using the real mode BTX?  This trap has PSL_VM set in 
eflags:

#define PSL_VM          0x00020000      /* virtual 8086 mode bit */

which would indicate that you are still using the old boot code.  (Perhaps you 
have a new loader but have not installed new boot blocks using bsdlabel?)
