It's ok :).

Actually, it's better to take a loader.conf without
snd_ich_enabled=3D"YES" defined in it and rerun those tests. Sorry for
not being more explicit about that point sooner.
Try the following steps exhibit the same problem:
- Remove sem_load=3D"YES". Execute `load sem' in the bootloader.
- Empty out loader.conf. Then boot up with the bootloader once again and do=
:
load ukbd
load snd_ich
Please try all of the steps with boot -v to see what happens.
There also might be an issue with the BIOS settings; see if
there's anything in there about flipping a bit to enable a `plug and
play OS'. If it's currently disabled, try enabling it. Also, try
disabling SMP to see if that has any affect:
set machdep.hlt_cpus=3D1
Trying a more recent copy of 8-STABLE might also work, if there
were any bugs fixed between the release and now.
HTH,
-Garrett
