I ran into something that sounds similar on my MSI Master2-FAR Opteron system - when booting, it would start to list the devices, but only show the floppy. It was like it was hanging while looking for the harddrive. Actually, it was hanging while looking for drive B. I had a USB floppy plugged into the system which the BIOS mapped as B. The FreeBSD booter can't handle a USB floppy mapped as B. Unplugging the USB floppy allowed the booter to run properly. I imagine that disabling the BIOS support of the USB floppy would also work. I've debated whether or not to fill out a FreeBSD bug report on this. I haven't seen a report of this in the list, but a few were similar.
