I was seeing exactly this sort of thing too, after replacing my old
Pentium 133 workstation with a newer machine.  Then, FreeBSD would
freeze and stop responding even to CTRL-ALT-ESC that should bring up
the kernel debugger :/

I have a Gigabyte Titan 667 Series motherboard on my Celeron @ 1800.
The model of the motherboard is GA-8ST667.  The dmesg output includes
the following:

    % dmesg | grep -i sis
    atapci0: <SiS 5591 ATA33 controller> port 0xf000-0xf00f at device 2.5 on pci0
    ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0
    ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0
    pcm0: <SiS 7012> port 0xe400-0xe47f,0xe000-0xe0ff irq 10 at device 2.7 on pci0
    ohci0: <SiS 5571 USB controller> mem 0xef001000-0xef001fff irq 11 at device 3.0 on pci0
    usb0: <SiS 5571 USB controller> on ohci0
    uhub0: SiS OHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1
    ohci1: <SiS 5571 USB controller> mem 0xef002000-0xef002fff irq 9 at device 3.1 on pci0
    usb1: <SiS 5571 USB controller> on ohci1
    uhub1: SiS OHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1
    ohci2: <SiS 5571 USB controller> mem 0xef003000-0xef003fff irq 7 at device 3.2 on pci0
    usb2: <SiS 5571 USB controller> on ohci2
    uhub2: SiS OHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1

I could only boot my installed -CURRENT by disabling hw.ata.atapi_dma :/

Try setting hw.ata.ata_dma="0" and hw.ata.atapi_dma="0" at the loader
prompt, and see if you can at least boot your system.
