I finally caught the *first* part of the boot string; it was
"ACPI" [followed by some error on loading this.]
Long story short, I was fairly sure that "ACPI ... " string was
causing my upgrade to 6.3 to fail. I explicitly disabled it
with the ``hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" hint and rebooted. No more
ACPI ... string but the boot *still* hung after printing
sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0
to the console. In /var/log/messages there was more:
sio0: type 8250 or not responding
I'm upgrading to RELENG_7 and will rebuild, but if anyboody know
what that last line means, and how to resolve, I'd be much obliged!
gary
PS: Odds are that version 7 will hang, too, but dunno until I try.
