Remove NO_MIXED_MODE from your kernel config, and try again with the

Well, that was an interesting experience.
I commented out the 'options NO_MIXED_MODE' line from my kernel config
(a copy of GENERIC), made a new kernel and installed it.
I commented out the hint from /boot/loader.conf, and rebooted the
machine.

The results were ... special. The machine would do anything from reboot
to just mess up the display (vertical stripes instead of text) during
booting.
When I set the hint again, the machine booted like before (ie. with the
15 seconds delay).

Whew.

How does this machine behave with a stock 6.0-CURRENT kernel? Could you see if the 6.0-CURRENT-SNAP002 snapshot boots on it?
