John, I can ship you one of these machines for your own testing if you
like. Or send me a public key and I can give you SSH access to the
console serial port, whichever would be easiest for you to get what
you need.
Let me know how I can help.

Plugging back in the monitor after lockup showed only a single char

This confirms it is hanging in one of the two BIOS routines to
output a
character. One thing you can do would be to boot up and do the
following:
dd if=/dev/mem bs=0x400 count=1 of=idt.out
dd if=/dev/mem bs=64k iseek=15 count=1 of=bios.out
Then place those files some place I can fetch them.
Both files are at http://support.netconsonance.com/freebsd/
FYI, this is notable -- the keyboard does not respond at the boot
prompt. I mean the menu where you can escape to the loader prompt,
with the fat freebsd ascii art. No keyboard presses are observed
here. This is also true for the boot menu on the 6.4 installation
CD too.
No problems with 6.2 or 6.3
