ok - i can confirm installing v.1 of the BIOS fixes the issue. Haven't
tried with the one in between the latest and v1.0.

The BIOS files are from
http://tyan.com/support/html/b_s2891.html

* dmesg -a after booting verbose for working BIOS :

* dmesg -a after booting verbose new,not working BIOS :
http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/amd64/NOT_OK_bios_2891_201.txt

Is it worth submitting a PR for this? what information do you / anyone
suggest is included in it? I'd love to be able to test more, but I can't
keep this box offline any longer.

cheers,
Beto
