Sounds like what happens when I try to boot my ThinkPad T520 with my cell phone plugged in (Thunderbolt). It locks up tight in BIOS. Won't boot anything. This is a hardware issue as the phone looks like a USB drive to the OS. After I boot I can plug in the phone and it is probes correctly under FreeBSD or Windows 7. I suspect that the thumb drive is the issue, not FreeBSD. -- R.
