Would it be an option to have sbp disabled by default in the install
CD's? Those without the problem can put sbp_load in loader.conf, those
with the problem will have to kldload it later but at least they will be
able to install.

As per svn and cvs:

Comment out the sbp(4) entry for GENERIC config files that contain it.
There are known issues with this driver that are beyond what can be
fixed for 8.0-RELEASE and the bugs can cause boot failure on some systems.
It's not clear if it impacts all systems and there is interest in getting
the problem fixed so for now just comment it out instead of remove it.

Commit straight to stable/8, this is an 8.0-RELEASE issue.  Head was left
alone so work on it can continue there.

Looks like sbp(4) is disabled on the 8.0 branch already.

That's good to hear, thanks for the info
