I would like to add a 'me too'.  I have a Dell OptiPlex GX260 with BIOS 
A09 running stable/8 that hangs just after detecting agp.  The hang 
disappears when running r262225.

I believe that this only affects i386 systems.  I have some Dell 
OptiPlex 755 systems running stable/8 amd64 kernels that do not exhibit 
the problem.
