Thanks for the reply. That was the answer. It's odd, but someone else
wrote that you need to make sure the ACPI module is not loaded if you
"experience freezes on power on". I wonder if they meant "apic",
although there is something called ACPI, and I was disabling it in
/boot/loader.conf: "hint.acpi.0.disabled=1".
I also discovered that the system that I thought was working, really
wasn't. It did the same thing, but not until after Windows had
started. The other system would get messed up as soon as I hit "Power On".
Thanks again for your help. I don't know why I didn't run across this
information during my searches.
Thanks,
Denver
