Hi,

I actually went ahead and bought the system. Here is my config

CPU: Intel I3-6100
Mobo: MSI B150M-PRO-VDH
NIC: RTL8111H (on-Board)
RAM: Hyperx DDR4 8 GB

I initially tried to use UEFI-10.2 Release image. But the system was 
repeatedly crashing just after the loader prompt... (PANICS)
I tried installing with 10.2-Release (with BIOS).. But, NIC wasn't 
detected.

It seems the NIC driver was added around September' 15 to the FreeBSD 
tree in github  ( 
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/commit/c1d4644cbc1efd41f962e4979caf367c93d3c5f0 
)

I tried installing with 11.0-Current ( Legacy BIOS boot ), NIC works. 
got it installed..

The only issue i have is that the boot process takes a lot of time..  
(similar to 
https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/new-motherboard-and-processor-kernel-load-very-slow.53511/ 
). the system ultimately boots, but boot times are around 4 - 5 Mins..

How do I debug it? any suggestions?

-Thanks
Vijay
