freebsd stable - Feb 2006 - i386/86880: [hang] 6.0 hangs or reboots whilst 5.4 is stable (ASUS-A7NX motherboard with nforce2 chipset) (regression)

I've got the same problem with an A7N8X-X (athlon 2000+) motherboard and
6-STABLE (Build Feb, 2 2006).

booting with kernel.debug says nothing, seems to be hardware hang but
doesn't happend with linux nor OpenBSD. Didn't tried 5.3 yet.

Hang after detection of ATA devices (floppy's light turns on, then hang)

Try disabling firewire in the BIOS or connecting a device and see if
you can boot.
I have a similar problem and there's a PR open where you can check
