I found out that booting with "Safe mode" (I knew there should be some 
use for it :-)) allows me to complete the process and get to sysinstall, 
in both 5.2-RELEASE & the -current snapshot from 24/1. But I tried to do 
the same from the loader prompt, to no avail. I used the following and 
then "boot" or "boot -v" but every attempt resulted in the traditional 
freeze.

unset acpi_load
set hint.acpi.0.disabled=1
set loader.acpi_disabled_by_user=1
set hw.ata.ata_dma=0
set hw.ata.atapi_dma=0
set hw.ata.wc=0
set hw.eisa_slots=0

 From what I can tell from the beastie.4th file, that is all that should 
be needed. Am I missing something?

Cheers,
