6.1/amd64 hangs on boot with the BIOS in the default settings.  To get 
it to boot, I have had to go into the BIOS config and:
	
	o disable IEEE 1394
	o disable the SECOND (slave) on-board ethernet
	o enable bus master on the onboard LSI 1030 MPT

Otherwise, the boot process hangs after the SCSI bus reset.  This 
problem does not occur on 7-CURRENT now that the mpt(4) driver has been 
fixed.

This was still the case as of a few weeks ago with 6-STABLE/amd64.  I'll 
check it again and let you know if anything has changed.
