Contact HP? If I read the above correct, you are nowwhere near FreeBSD when the hang occurs? Perhaps you mistyped somethingin the iLO setup?

There is nothing to type to repeat it, just saving the settings to make iLO reset enough. Its occurs while FreeBSD is booting, when iLO resetting itself. First iLO stop responding to ping(i see it on the next box screen) and when its initialize(start responding), FreeBSD hungs. If I press the key on boot prompt, and wait for iLO(ping respond), its hungs at the boot prompt. Tested on 6.2, 6.1, 6.0.
