In case this helps anybody, I fixed the 2 min startup by adding my machine's hostname to /etc/hosts, and the crash problem is fixed by installing the latest xf86-video-savage port. I wonder why the sysinstall doesnt know how to figure this out when installing and build the prot for me? Well anyway that was a good introduction to FreeBSD.
