More information :

1)  The adapter is correctly detected as a Series 762 by FreeBSD
2)  Flashing the adapter BIOS to an older version didn't help - still hangs.

It almost seems as if the driver is waiting for something - using an older
version of FreeBSD the install process still stops after detecting the
logical drive, but I can restart the system cleanly with Ctrl-Alt-Del (the
controller cache is flushed, etc, etc)
