I've got a whole bunch of 4.3-REL machines that were built from the same
media and the same installation crib sheet.
One of these systems experiences a really strange quirk:

When it boots, it displays this:

FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:da(0,a)/kernel
boot:

and then waits forever until someone presses <Enter>.

The other machines all have the same disk partitioning, and none of them
experience this behaviour.

Does anyone have any explanation for why this occurs, and how to make it
stop?  It's quite distressing, especially since it's a remote box.
