eMachines M6805 laptop under FreeBSD

FreeBSD 5.2.1-RC1 for amd64 does not boot.  The kernel loads and loader
menu displays but the machine locks up immediately upon kernel entry
before any output to the console. (Same for NetBSD-CURRENT for amd64)

FreeBSD 5.2.1-RC1 for i386 works great.  Support for the APIC must
be removed otherwise the Rhine ethernet controller and USB give
various errors.

Also, the BIOS is pretty bare and does not have much in the way
of configuration past time and ATA settings.

Instead of using a custom driver for the touchpad add:
  moused_flags="-3"
to /etc/rc.conf and ensure XF86Config has:  
  Option "Protocol" "imps/2"  
  Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"  
  Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
for mouse options.  The tap-to-click and scroll bar should work and 
both buttons at the same time emulates the third button.

Hardware support:

o Internal winmodem not supported (does a wrapper exist?)
o Internal wireless controller based on the Broadcom 54g chipset
  works using the Project Evil ndis wrapper
o Internal Rhine II ethernet controller supported
o USB supported
o Firewire supported (untested)
o Internal card readers (CF, etc) work, connected internally to
  USB hub
o Cardbus controller supported
o Internal ATI Radeon 9600 supported in 2D mode only under XFree 3.99.xx
o Synaptics touchpad works
o VIA VT8235 sound works fine
