If you have access to another FreeBSD machine, you could try compiling a
minimal kernel (remove drivers that are unneeded, but also those that
attach but are unnecessary) and booting from that kernel instead.

Can you type characters onto the terminal after the boot hangs?
If no, does capslocks change keyboard LEDs?
Does 9-RELEASE boot? Or does no FreeBSD boot?
