Motherboard:  MSI K9N2G Neo-FD
Incompatible with FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE
Hangs on boot, probably related to the NVIDIA NForce Storage Controller (thinks it's RocketRAID).  Chipset MCP78 (GeForce 8200) does not appear to be supported.

>How-To-Repeat:
Try booting 7.0-RELEASE with this motherboard (any BIOS configuration--doesn't matter).

None.  Abandoned all hope.  Returned motherboard.
