    I would first boot another unixy OS off HDD or Live CD and compute the
    md5 checksum of the CD (maybe using "dd bs=2k ..." once to "size"
    the CD and once to exclude that last two blocks) and compare with
    the checksum listed at www.freebsd.org. Or make another CD or
    CD image and compare md5sums or just diff the two CDs or CD & image.

    If OK, and I was pretty convinced that there was a bug of some kind,
    I'd try asking on the 5.4 mailing list, freebsd-stable, and/or file a
    formal problem report, or since such problems are tough to debug,
    especially by those without the hardware in question, I might just
    boot off a floppy (images are on the CD) or install from an older OS
    version until I could upgrade from the new CD using sysinstall after
    booting the older OS from the HDD.
