Hi,
I use freebsd 6 on my main router without problems since it was released 
by i am actually working on an embedded system, i built the minimal 
system without much problems it now works well but the problem here is 
that sometime it will just freze while booting and wait there for a 
random time, and sometime it never unfreeze, I don't know if it can help 
but here is the output of 'dmesg' :

This system is booted with a remote disk via nfs but the same problem 
happen when i boot from a local disk (compact flash).
The freeze happens after this line:
npx0: [FAST]

With my understanding of this, it seems it have something against the 
math processor or something near since it is the line following this one.

I really hope someone can help me, I don't really want to have to drop 
freebsd for another system for this system.

Ps: The kernel is GENERIC, I wait until everything works before 
recompiling a new one. I know there are some warnings but they happen 
after my freeze problem so i don't think they are related, and the 
system works well after booting (when it boots).
