This is a long standing (bios?) bug for *MANY* Gigabyte motherboards (like this one from 2007: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2007-October/078191.html ). A quick workaround is to attach your mouse (or any other USB device that dies during boot - mices, keyboards, card readers, etc. do this with FreeBSD 6/7's usb1 and Gigabyte boards) -after- all USB drivers are loaded and initialized. That always works. Also in one case I know of, having an external powered USB hub 'solved' the issue (if that counts as a fix). Still, having it properly fixed in usb1 drivers wouldn't hurt, of course, but until then, just detach your mouse before boot, plug it after, and you're fine. m.
