I recently installed on my M1 under VirtualBox 7.1.6 and saw similar CPU 
usage.  A 4-core VM idles at 300% CPU.  Installing FreeBSD was also a 
little sketchy:

1. virtio drivers did not work, had to use Intel
2. No virtual hard drive by default, just CD and floppy

I got it working by trial and error, but Arm support is clearly still a 
work in progress.

FreeBSD didn't crash, but there were some odd network issues (unable to 
reach another host on the local network).  I also saw this under Qemu, 
though the host macOS had no such problem.
