Update: I've discovered that the 7.3 kernels actually boot after some 
ridiculously long waiting period after the "boot" command (i.e. 10 
minutes or even more). I suspect that it might be caused by the memory 
probing, which as far as I know the FreeBSD does to determine if the 
physical memory that has been reported by BIOS really exists.

Here is what kernel reports about RAM:

Any comments?
