Given that the issue appears with all available devices disabled or removed in BIOS, the point of failure is most likely a hardware incompatibility with the EVGA LGA 775 motherboard. FreeBSD 6.3 boots normally on this hardware. >How-To-Repeat: Using the same hardware (EVGA LGA 775 nforce 680i chipset, Intel Core Quad, all hard drives disabled) the stall will happen every time the computer boots up. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
