I have installed FreeBSD 3.1 (fresh system) off the CD-ROMs (including all sources and all encryption technology included). When the system is shutdown gracefully, it will not boot back up. I have a true NE2000 (IRQ 10, I/O 300) which FreeBSD balks at when probing other devices with that I/O address. FreeBSD just stops booting. I have discovered a method to boot by first booting off the live filesystem CD and altering the configuration with the visual configuration option just after the bootable CD boots (which was done when FreeBSD was originally installed off Disk 1). The sysinstall program interface appears, then I select "Exit Install", the systems reboots and properly detects devices and provides a login prompt. I will not reconfigure the GENERIC file and make the system, as I am nearby and can drop off the computer for your inspection (in case this is some kind of bug).
