Update: I've discovered that the 7.3 kernels actually boot after some ridiculously long waiting period after the "boot" command (i.e. 10 minutes or even more). I suspect that it might be caused by the memory probing, which as far as I know the FreeBSD does to determine if the physical memory that has been reported by BIOS really exists.

Here is what kernel reports about RAM:

Any comments?

Maybe try adding

hint.atkbdc.0.disabled="1"
hint.atkbd.0.disabled="1"

to /boot/device.hints? That has reportedly removed minute-long boot delays on some Nehalem machines.

No, that have not helped at all. I measured the delay - it's about 6
minutes from boot command to the first "smap" message. Do you or anybody else have other ideas?
