I have carefully inspected what the kernel says with boot -p -v. There is 
nothing there about ELCR.

I have found two similar problem reports:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=i386/40274
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=i386/43852
Some other bug reports also mention "device timeout", but they seem to differ 
considerably from my case.


If it may be helpful for you, I can even connect this box with the serial 
cable to another PC and give you remote access to that one.
