 This problem occurred on my machine.
 
 Machine is :
   FUJITSU GRANPOWER 5000 model760 / model560,
   2 x PentiumPro 200MHz (but not SMP kernel),
   450GX (Orion) chipset (Intel 82453KX/GX),
   2 x AIC7880 SCSI,
   Mylex DAC960P RAID Controler (model760 only)
 
   This machine seems Intel AP450GX/AR450GX motherboard OEM.
   ( http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/AP450GX/ )
 
 This machine can boot with FreeBSD 3.x and FreeBSD 5-current-20000805.
 Only FreeBSD 4.1-{RELEASE,STABLE} kernel fails to boot.
 
 It seems to me that FreeBSD 4 kernel's PCI bus probe fails on 450GX chipset
 and the machine hangs up.
 (maybe in src/i386/isa/pcibus.c)
 
 To fix, apply following msmith's commit to RELENG_4.

 |  Log:
 |  Some more i386-only BIOS-friendliness:
 |  
 |   - Add support for using the PCI BIOS functions for configuration space
 |     accesses, and make this the default.
 |  
 |   - Make PNPBIOS the default (obsoletes the PNPBIOS config option).
 |  
 |   - Add two new boot-time tunables to disable each of the above.

 I rebuild 4.1-STABLE kernel with following 5-current's sources,
 and it works fine.
