I did some more testing on a pristine FreeBSD 10.3 amd64 installation.
Right after bootup:
# kldload i915kms ==> hard freeze
I did a hard-reset and added the following to loader.conf, as suggested
by the handbook in the X.org chapter:
kern.vty=vt
I rebooted and gave it another try:
# kldload i915kms ==> hard freeze, again
Hmmm.
