I didn't think of > installing 8.2 and upgrading, so perhaps it *is* just the boot CD. It is not just the boot CD. I just completed an upgrade from 8.2-RELEASE-p2 (based on the mfsBSD special edition image) to 9.0-RC2 via freebsd-update following the release instructions [1]. After the first reboot I experienced the exact same freeze as initially reported. When doing the upgrade, I noticed /boot/device.hints had an addition for attimer.0. I'll next try to get 9.0-RC2 to boot without ACPI (I'll try removing that hint).
