Looping during boot-up process in FreeBSD-11 current

I'm starting to look at FreeBSD 11-current to see what's coming soon.
 I have an older notebook that I use for test environments for
purposes such as this.  Unfortunately, the notebook won't boot up
from the install CD, there's a loop it cannot seem to get out of.  



Details are:

- The install CD was made from this image:
   FreeBSD-11.0-CURRENT-i386-20140918-r271779-disc1

- The dmesg for the notebook is at the end of this message.  The
dmesg was captured with FreeBSD 10.0.  In the dmesg, you can see the
following lines:

(aprobe0:ata1:0:1:0): ATAPI_IDENTIFY. ACB: a1 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00
00 00 00
(aprobe0:ata1:0:1:0): CAM status: Command timeout
(aprobe0:ata1:0:1:0): Error 5, Retry was blocked
run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 60 seconds for
xpt_config
(aprobe0:ata1:0:1:0): ATAPI_IDENTIFY. ACB: a1 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00
00 00 00
(aprobe0:ata1:0:1:0): CAM status: Command timeout
(aprobe0:ata1:0:1:0): Error 5, Retry was blocked


which, while slowing down the boot process drastically, still allowed
the boot process to run to successful completion.


- When I try to boot using the FreeBSD 11-current install CD, that
loop seems to go on ad infinitum, or at least for the 5 minutes until
I gave up.   I cannot post a dmesg from that boot-up because I never
got to a prompt.  However, I did take a couple of pictures of the
offending screens.  They are here:
 http://archive.mgm51.com/cache/fbsd-11-current-01.jpg
 http://archive.mgm51.com/cache/fbsd-11-current-02.jpg
The first image shows the start of the looping, and the second shows
the continuation.


While this notebook is used only for testing, it is important to me
in that aspect.  How can I get around this looping issue?

Please let me know if there's any additional info you need.

Thanks.





And now, the dmesg...
