Looks like I hit a bug that jhb tried to fix in 2012:
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2012-February/031879.html

But what is strange is that FreeBSD 12 works perfectly on the system, no
"hw.mca.enabled=0" needed.

Furthermore when setting hw.mca.enabled=0 the boot now continues further but
crashes with:
ahc_isa_identify 14: ioport 0xec00 alloc failed

Why I am reporting this - FreeBSD 13 switched i386 to 686/P6 meaning Pentium
Pro should be the minimum supported system. I have no real world use case for
the machine.
