Ok, understood.
# Will USB 3.0 be supported at 8.2-RELEASE? :-D

The motherboard I tried with (GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD5) has the
BIOS setting named <Onboard USB 3.0 Controller>.

Additionaly, also when I switched OFF ("disabled") this item
<Onboard USB 3.0 Controller>, the FreeBSD installation system
did NOT hang and did display the following lines even if
<USB Legacy Function> = "Disabled" ::
