How do you tell that the machine is locked up? Are you unable to reach
it using ssh?

Could you please try with syscons, instead of VT?

This is expected, because the filesystem isn't available at this point
in the boot.

You have to load whatever firmware(s) are required by radeonkms.ko in
your loader.conf. See the wiki:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics#Video_driver_loaded_at_boot_time

In your case, you would have to add the following lines to
/boot/loader.conf:

radeonkms_load="YES"
radeonkmsfw_RV620_pfp_load="YES"
radeonkmsfw_RV620_me_load="YES"
radeonkmsfw_R600_rlc_load="YES"
