I re-installed the OS on a new drive with a 200906 snapshot, and can 
now boot with AHCI enabled in the BIOS.  The original image was a 
RELENG_7 box that I upgraded to HEAD some time ago. Is there 
something that needs to be manually updated that would not have been 
done as part of the normal buildworld/buildkernel ?  Re-install the 
boot blocks perhaps ?

And then it hangs there.
