So I booted up by CD and used Fixit mode to switch the system to boot
via serial (keyboard detached), but this gathered me even less.
/boot.config: -Dh
Consoles: internal video/keyboard serial port
BIOS drive A: is disk0
BIOS drive C: is disk1
BIOS drive D: is disk2
BIOS 639kB/4062144kB available memory
FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1

Plugging back in the monitor after lockup showed only a single char
more:

Yes, but debugging these hangs is very non-trivial. It likely
involves
disassembling the BIOS and trying to see where it can get stuck in
a loop.
John, is there anything I can do to provide you with more useful
information about this problem?
The board is a Tyan S2720
2 2.66G Intel Processors
4 Gigabytes of RAM
2 36G ST336607LC Cheetah drives
While playing around randomly I found something interesting. If the
keyboard is attached while booting, you get the problem I reported
before:
Loading /boot/defaults/loader.con
\
But if you boot without a keyboard it gets beyond that point and then
pci0: <ACPI PCI bus> on pci0b
Fatal trap 12; page fault while in kernel mode
cpuid = 0; apic id = 00
...a bunch of other stuff. I can't capture this because I can't
type fast enough. Also noteworthy, I can't hit "6" to set console
to comconsole so that I could cut/paste this. It really seems like
there are major problems around the keyboard. (and no such problems
with 6.3)
