The booting process stops when the screen for boot options, i.e. Boot FreeBSD, Boot FreeBSD with ACPI disabled, etc... appears. Whatever boot option I choose the system freezes immediately (only a slash in bottom left corner appears and nothing else) and I have to reboot it. Any idea? TIA Sergio. P.S. I've read some threads about a similar problem, and even if my problem is different, I've tried to apply a patch found in them, but nothing changes.
