 Just to add a few more details, this also happens (unsurprisingly) on a 
 D2500.  Testing with my D2500CC, I can confirm the issue occurs on both 
 9.0 and 8.2, and both in i386 and amd64.
 
 Also, interestingly, I can't get a very vanilla (GENERIC kernel and 
 almost no configuration) install to even boot with a serial console and 
 terminal.  The only changes I made were adding "-Dh -S115200" to 
 /boot.config and setting up a serial tty in /etc/ttys.  The board 
 repeatedly hangs (not a panic) after printing "Setting hostuuid", and if 
 I disable hostid in rc.conf, it will repeatedly hang after printing 
 "Envtropy harvesti" (sic)--coincidentally the exact same number of 
 printed characters.  It does still respond to interrupt though, as I can 
 toggle Num Lock and it does recognize pressing the power button or 
 plugging/unplugging USB devices.
 
 Let me know if you need any testing as I would love to get this board up 
 and running.
