 hmmm, try turning off ttyflags in rc.conf.  this may be
 triggering some problem ...
 
 alternatively, boot single user and run /etc/rc.d/ttyflags
 and see if that hangs, if it does, next attempt would be to
 comment various lines in /etc/ttys until ttyflags does _not_
 hang...

 hmmm, this might need a kernel or smarts in user conf:
 
 - disable @ acpi attachments (eg, pckbc)
 - disable com(4)
 - networks (re0, re1, athn0)
