Well, that's a problem to be tracked.
FreeBSD _does not_ support PnP OS = Yes. The problems you have with this
setting are _not_ solvable, except by adding such support to FreeBSD
(which is not being done, for various reasons).
If you want to help track the problem with PnP OS = No, provide more
info. What's your hardware? Motherboard? BIOS name/version? Have you
tried with GENERIC? Are you loading any extra modules with loader? At
which point it hangs? Can you provide the verbose boot log? And check
PnP OS = No vs PnP OS = Yes to spot any differences?
Not that it would be me helping you, but these are the things people
will require to help. Also, using send-pr to file a bug report, and
refer the PR# in a message to -current talking about the problem.
