After a succesful boot.  I login as root and manually kldload
the i915kms module.

Yes, two bugs.  kernel sometimes hangs after lauching the cpus but 
before random device is ready.  Loading the new drm2 module cause
a black screen of death.  Don't know if it helps.  Extracted info
from /var/log/messages
