Probably switching from ahci to ide has caused your root partition
to appear on a different device node. If that's the problem then
you can fix it by telling the FreeBSD loader explicitly where to
find the root partition. Then you can boot, at least into single
user mode, and change your /etc/fstab to match the new drive
numbering. Exactly where in the boot sequence is FreeBSD freezing?
