 This is too few information.  Mainly, you need to tell *what* has been
 working, and *what not*.  Quote boot messages, etc.
 
 Also, until you know that this is really a bug in FreeBSD (or can at
 least support your suspicion of a bug with some data), this should not
 go into a PR.  Use the mailing list freebsd-questions@freebsd.org, or
 the Usenet group comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc instead.

Too few data.  Please clarify on freebsd-questions, and only report a 
PR if your suspicion of a bug is more founded.
