    I have a problem similar to the 'hang during CDROM detection' thread that is
    also going on right now. When I try to boot from either a 5.3-BETA2 CD or a
    5.3-BETA2 installation on my hard drive, I experience a boot hang.

    I have one hard drive with FreeBSD connected as the master drive on the
    first PATA channel. I have an optical drive connected as the slave drive on
    the second PATA channel. I have one drive connected to the first channel on
    the SATA controller. I have the SATA controller selected in the BIOS as my
    boot device. I have been booting FreeBSD via a boot menu on the SATA drive.

    I get all the way to:

    ad0: 8223MB <ST38410A/3.20) [16708/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA66
    ATAPI_RESET time = 80us
    acd0: CDRW <LITE-ON DVDRW LDW-811S/HS06> at ata1-slave UDMA33

    At which point bootup hangs. If I boot with verbose logging, I can see that
    ata2 gets reset a couple of times and then nothing. There may be other
    interesting messages, but they pass too quickly for me to read.

    If I disable ACPI, I can boot normally. If I disable my SATA controller, I
    can boot normally. If I remove the drive connected to the SATA controller, I
    can boot normally.

    This all worked fine with 5.2.1-RELEASE.

    I think this might relate to pr/70925, so I posted a followup there also.
