Yeah! I'm using Dell Latitude (notebook) of 90MHz pentium with 40meg
of memory. I am also having similar situation. I use the freebsd
v2.1.0 951020 snap, and my machine sometimes hung during boot stage,
or sometimes right after I started my Xfree86. It wouldn't, of course, 
even recognize my keystrokes. All I can do is to turn off the power
and turn it on again with my fingers crossed !!!!!! Luckily, I never
had any disk crashes yet. :-)

As I can see you are using 2.0.5, maybe this can be a problem with
pentium. Any cures for these kinda situation???
