Well, that's a problem to be tracked. FreeBSD _does not_ support PnP OS = Yes. The problems you have with this setting are _not_ solvable, except by adding such support to FreeBSD (which is not being done, for various reasons). If you want to help track the problem with PnP OS = No, provide more info. What's your hardware? Motherboard? BIOS name/version? Have you tried with GENERIC? Are you loading any extra modules with loader? At which point it hangs? Can you provide the verbose boot log? And check PnP OS = No vs PnP OS = Yes to spot any differences? Not that it would be me helping you, but these are the things people will require to help. Also, using send-pr to file a bug report, and refer the PR# in a message to -current talking about the problem. -- Daniel C.
