System hangs during the initial install process from floppies.

How-To-Repeat: Over the weekend I loaded a minimal system and then tryed a
tar -xf of the /usr/src files created on a different non-Perc3 system.
Each time the tar would eventually hang.
I suspect this is releated to the new aac driver.

I'm not sure if this is the same thing, but Scott Long (aac author) and
I got a Dell PowerEdge 6300/500 working with a Perc2/QC.
We solved it by upgrading the firmware on the Perc2 card.

I too was seeing the hang on boot from floppies.  It would get to the
first line of the aac driver and then stop.

perhaps this is a fix to the problem?

much kudos to Scott!

Does this problem still exist with more recent versions of FreeBSD 
and/or newer Perc2 firmware?
