Fails to boot from USB external hard drive.

Seem that freebsd boots from the mbr but crashes at BTX. If the bootloader
is installed screen seems to scroll dumping cpu registers. And cant be stopped.


This is dump i get from btx if the standard mbr is installed.

 I too am experiencing this on a SuperMicro server chassis using IPMI to 
 remotely mount an ISO image (The IPMI interface uses USB to interface 
 for drive mounts, keyboard and mouse)  I found that using a FreeBSD-8 
 boot only CD worked however: 8.0-CURRENT-200803-i386-bootonly.iso - I 
 found this while searching Google, not sure the exact location.  Booting 
 that CD then changing the distribution to install FreeBSD7-Release 
 allowed me to install properly.  I hope this gets addressed soon!

 Best I can tell, this issue is known (not usb specific) and already
 fixed. Unfortunately 7.0-RELEASE is having this boot loader problem.
 Please try either updating your system to a recent 7-STABLE system and
 reinstall boot0 code or (in case of a 7.x CD boot) fetch the 7-STABLE
 snapshot iso created 2007-03.
