Richard,

The machine is definitely hung at this point. The problem is a
faulty address specifier in ACPI. The address in the GAS is a
memory mapped I/O address, while the address space indication
is I/O port space. This discrepancy results in an invalid access
to I/O port space, which causes the machine to hang.

I put a work around in FreeBSD-current that checks for this and
calculate the intended memory address rather than the I/O port
memory address. This makes the kernel boot.

The work-around will be in the June snapshot and you should be
able to boot on the rx2660.
FYI,
