It sounds very much like an interrupt routing problem.  Have you 
tried the 5.4-BETA CD?

Scott
No help. Booting normally brings me to the same point - "ips0: 
resetting adapter, make take 5 minutes" - then nothing. System just 
hangs. Also, after that point, hitting the power button will not 
power-off the machine (of course, holding it in will). Anytime before 
that point, hitting the power button will turn the power off instantly.

One more test, would you mind trying the 6.0-CURRENT-SNAP002 snapshot? 
If that works then that gives us a target to shoot for with 5.4.

Scott
Well, some excellent news - 6.0-CURRENT-SNAP002 works perfectly. Or at 
least, it boots - I'm doing an install now, but I wanted to let you know 
right away.

Anything we could do to get this system running properly under 5.4, let 
me know - because we're paying lease payments two servers that we can't 
use at the moment, until we can boot FreeBSD on them. (damn IBM and 
thier end-of-life cycles....)
