(In other words, you should not have boot hangs by default due to firewire in 8.0 release) As far is 7.x is concerned, the current RELENG_7 branch (as of this moment) still has device sbp enabled. As far as 7.3 or future MFC to RELENG_7 of a fix or workaround, that remains to be seen, but the best thing to do is to make certain that the PR has all the necessary information provided, and to occasionally test with the latest -current (9.0) source and provide any debugging information if asked. 9.0 (aka -current) specifically left device sbp enabled so that people can continue to test and fix this bug (gives better exposure to the code). Make sense ? Good Luck. --_Dave
