Both on my own machine, and on systems in our test group's lab, we

it discovered, then shows the CPUs launched, and then it just sits
printing nothing for, like I said, maybe a minute or two. Finally it will
complete boot and all seems to be fine.

Can you put a verbose dmesg up with debug.fdc.debugflags=255 set from
the loader?

I suspect you'll find it's floppy-related. Try setting
hint.fdc.0.disabled="1" from the loader and seeing if it goes away.
