Description Kevin Ross 2003-12-28 23:10:14 UTC 
Transcribed boot messages (shorthand utilized):
..
GEOM: Configure ad0s1, start ...

How-To-Repeat: Obtain and verify good a FreeBSD 5.2RC2 CD.  Replicate environment (unsure if partitioning scheme is relevant).  Attempt to install FreeBSD 5.2RC2.

Can you please attach a full boot log?  Use a serial console and boot
by canceling out of the bootloader menu and typing 'boot -dHv'.

Thanks!

This problem exists for FreeBSD 5.2 Release also. While booting with 
verbose output (boot -dHv), there are no error messages.  Booting 
process simply halts at:

mounting root from ufs: /dev/md0

Workaround for the problem:
1. Exit boot loader menu
2. disable-module md
3. boot
Comment 3 austusross 2004-01-15 13:14:35 UTC 
The workaround above does not work!  I attributed my success to 
disabling the module 'md', but the success actually occured because I 
removed my wireless pcmcia network card (model#WPC11 version 3) prior to 
booting the FreeBSD CD.
Comment 4 Kevin Ross 2004-03-29 23:44:10 UTC 
Please close this PR.  It has been fixed with the new
5.2.1 Release.

Thank you.
