This problem is only on my EEE. desktop computer bootup well.

CURRENT about 15th may 2009 boot well from flash drive. But it's too old :)

dmesg.boot you can see at http://freebsd.eroese.org/dmesg.r205702
this kernel is based on generic, http://freebsd.eroese.org/FASTGENr205702 
>How-To-Repeat:
Checkout code from SVN, build generic system, install it on flash disk, reboot from.
