If the 3CEX589ET is : removed the system will boot. I don't know what the right magic is, but you are definitely running into a IRQ problem. This is the classic symptom. If I had the machine, I'd sit down and cycle through the available irqs until I found a combination that worked. Likely you'll need to run windows on the machine, jot down its resource usage, and then try to duplicate it on FreeBSD. Before someone else says it, configuring IRQs is a huge pita with OLDCARD.
