Thanks for your help, but I already tried that possibility.

I had to disable the following devices:
pciide*
uhub*
brgphy*
bge*
wdc*
isa0

then the last lines are:
isa at mainbus0 not configured
biomask ffff netmask ffff ttymask ffff
rd0: fixed, 3800blocks
root on rd0a
rootdev=0x1100 rrootdev=0x2f00 rawdev=0x2f02
Warning: RTC time at or beyond 2038
Warning: year set back to 2037
Warning: CHECK AND RESET THE DATE!
Warning: using file system time
Warning: CHECK AND RESET THE DATE!
*hanging*

It can't be that I have to disable so many (important) devices to get to
this point ...
I wish I would have bought a Thinkpad ...
