FreeBSD 10-RC4 FreeBSD/amd64, I dont have uname -a since it didnt boot
>Description:
I am trying to boot 10.0-RC4 on a server made up of the following:

CPU: Atom C2758 "Rangeley"
Board vendor: supermicro

FreeBSD 9 boots just fine!

However FreeBSD 10 wont boot at all. It hangs. I tried some basic troubleshooting:

FreeBSD/x86 boot                                                                
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/loader                                                 
boot: /boot/kernel/kernel -dv-   

Hangs. Only char "-" shows up.

FreeBSD/x86 boot                                                                
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/loader                                                  
boot:     /boot/loader -dv\

Hangs again. Only char "\"

Since loader wont show, I could not scape to loader prompt and try other things like set debug.kdb.enter=1, enable/disable features, etc and "-d" in this boot stage caused the hang with no further info.

What else can I do to get more info?
