It looks like the on board realtek ethernet is causing this problem. Maybe an BIOS update will help (should be available from MSI). Or else just take an other ethernet card and disable the onboard NIC. To test it, disable the onboard ethernet in the BIOS and try again. If it does boot fine, it is the NIC. This does not mean, that the NIC is broken, it could be that this realtek chip is to new and not yet fully supported from the FreeBSD driver. You also could try to boot with "ACPI disabled" or with "safe mode". Could you also try this with FreeBSD/i386? bye Fabian
