Bios options are very limited, so I can't disabled USB ( as I've seen here http://blog.elitecoderz.net/freebsd-freezes-on-trying-to-mount-root-from-ufsdevmd0-and-is-stucked/2009/01/ ). It freezes on every version after 6.4, which is the only I can install (that way, upgrading to 7.0 went flawlessly, but after that, updating to 7.2 gives boot freeze again ) I already tried some boot hints with any success such as: set hw.ata.atapi_dma=0 set hint.kbdmux.0.disabled=1 set hint.apic.0.disabled=1 set hint.sio.0.disabled=1 set hint.sio.1.disabled=1 set hint.fdc.0.disabled=1
