Note: I encountered on the old system of my brother something similar.  
I updated it to the current GNOME and as soon as hald did start I got  
a lot of CAM messages on the console (da0 on Adaptec controller). The  
system went down to a crawl. I disabled hald in rc.conf and the system  
came up well. I did let the system in this state as he did need it. I  
did not had time to investigate. THe system hardware is not changed  
since years and works without problems. Unfortunately I can not tell  
more.

Bye,
Alexander.
