Hans-Christian,

> usb0: SMM does not respind, resetting

I wanted to build a custom boot floppy without USB support, but this laptop 
doesn't have a floppy drive.  (Who ever heard of a laptop without a floppy 
drive?!)  I eventually installed FreeBSD 3.5.1 and upgraded to 4.3.  The 
lack of USB support in 3.5.1 actually allowed it to boot.  Of course, the 
upgrade path is painful, due to the different IDE disk driver (wd -> ad).  
It's possible, though.  I can confirm that the problem lies in the USB 
controller, not APM.

Good luck,

-Eric
