    Thank you both very much. This did indeed resolve my issues and I am
    now
    getting FreeBSD 5.3-BETA6 configured on my problem system.

    Yes, this bug was present in BETA5 and BETA6. It will be fixed in BETA7.
    In the mean time, you can avoid it by disabling your floppy drive
    (by setting hint.fd.0.disabled=1 at the loader)
