I attempted to do a test install of FreeBSD 6.1 ISO on a new machine I was 
building, the specs were:
*AMD AM2 5000+ dual core
*Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe Motherboard
*1GBx4 Mushkin ddr2 800Mhz
*750GBx4 S-ATA Seagate Barracuda Hard Drive (Tested with and without 
motherboard NV RAID in 0+1 mode with the same results)
*ATI Radeon 1800 video card
*standard dvd-rom

When attempting to boot in verbose and non verbose mode the machine would hang 
(to the best of what I recall) on the hard drives.

I've had the same experience with my brand new and shiny
 amd64 equipmnent...:
Mainboard -> ASUS M2N-E (nforce 570 - *no* SLI)

Both 7.0-CURRENT-200607 and 6.1-STABLE-200607 (july) snapshots failed.
The 7.0-CURRENT-200608 passed the disk probes, and indeed finished the install, but was subject to a massive interrupt storm.

As of today (2006-sep-16) the problem is solved in both 7-CURRENT and 6-STABLE (soon to be 6.2-RELEASE), I verified personally with 2 home-built snapshot CDROMs.

I think this PR can be closed (FIXED).
