Oh, yeah, I'm sorry. Nah, loader is fine, the server reboots when the 
kernel itself is initializing the devices. It starts initializing 
various PCI stuff, then reboots. I'm aware about serial console, but, 
unfortunately, this server has some proprietary RS-232 jack, in the 
form-factor of 8P8C, and the only cable I have with these jacks is Cisco 
"blue" cable, but seems like they use different pin-out scheme. Thus, so 
far, no serial console, but I'm working on it. The FreeBSD version I've 
tried to use is the 11-RELEASE amd64.

Thanks.
Eugene.
