>Description:
When attempting to install FreeBSD 10.0-RC4 -or- 10.0-RC5 from cd disc1, the 
resulting system does not boot up after installation on an asus h87m-e 
motherboard.

I used multiple sata hard disks. a WD sata2 1TB & a Seagate sata3 3TB drive. I 
tried normal install options using 'whole disk' guided partitioning, as well as 
ZFS single disk installs using MBR & GPT options.

Any/every install option has been tested good by inserting the hard disk into 
an older machine and successfully booting the OS.

A fresh install using a 9.2-RELEASE cd dic1 will boot fine on the asus h87m-e, 
however the onboard ethernet is not recognized at boot.
>How-To-Repeat:
install a fresh copy of 10.0-RC5 on an asus h87m-e motherboard, and try to boot 
up system disk.
>Fix:
the work around I used was to install 9.2-RELEASE, add a usb ethernet adaptor, 
and then use freebsd-update to update system to 10.0-RC5 successfully.
