 A followup to a related PR has been submitted with a work around this
 problem
 See:
 http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=26686
 
 Also related is the PR:

 The IRQ peculiarity mentioned here has nothing to do with the freeze.
 It has been suggested the culprit is the ex driver probing an installed
 the NE2000 NIC. Disabling the NE2000 did not not help.
 Physically removing the NE2000 did help and the boot completed
 without problems. If the ex driver is the culprit, why cannot we
 disabled
 at the kernel configuration stage? This was possible to do in the
 3.x releases,  but is not possible to do with the 4.x releases.
 
 Cheers
