FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE boot failure

I installed FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE from the ISO CD image, but it won't
boot:

F1   DOS
F2   Linux
F3   FreeBSD

Default: F3

This was with the HDD as ad0. I changed it to ad2 and used my
other drive with FreeBSD 4.10 as ad0 to see what was going on.
Here's the beef:

ad2: 114498MB <SAMSUNG SV1204H> [232632/16/63] at ata1-master UDMA100

The first two slices are 4 Gigs and 30 Gigs, then comes the 20 Gig FreeBSD
slice. All partitions except f are UFS 1.

The ISO CD, boot and kernel floppy MD5 checksums are all correct. I also
mounted the root fs and checked the kernel it was trying to boot:

MD5 (/mnt53/boot/kernel/kernel) = 3de806744ff78543ae86bcba555af215

If you need any other info let me know.
