Me too!

The system is:
# uname -a
FreeBSD wep4035 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #0: Mon Dec 15 14:21:48 CET 2008
     root at wep4035:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/USB2  amd64

It can hang even in single user mode with only / mounted read-only,
but with already configured network (msk). I have never seen how it
happens, however :(

Alexey.
