4.3-RELEASE installation from CDROM fails with Mylex DAC960 PL RAID
controller.

The debug screen:

/dev/mlxd0s2a: 3231744 sectors in 789 cylinders of 1 tracks, 4096 sectors
1578.0MB in 50 cyl groups (16 c/g, 32.00MB/g 7872 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:
bus_dmamap_load: Too many segs! buf_len = 0xaa0
mlx0: I/O error - attempt to write beyond end of drive
write error: 80
newfs: wtfs - writecombine: Input/output error

I can install 4.1-RELEASE or 4.2-RELEASE without problem, then upgrade
to 4.3-RELEASE works.

Have you tried 4.4-RELEASE or any recent 4.4 snapshot install?
