Ok, that helps us determine that it works fine when you use GPT booting.
I don't think it has anything to do with writing boot to disk, if you
are having write failures to the boot sector, then you have bigger
problems hardware-wise. Sounds like its something to do with the MBR
layout instead.

Remember, this is an experimental Intel patch, you may want to report
this issue over to the freebsd-x11 list now. Sounds like the failure is
occurring that when X shuts down it hangs the box.
