I'll commit a PR. I may have a work-around here. I'm not sure why this bug has suddenly cropped up in just 3 days, and I'm looking hard for it, but if you could please try the 3.0 installation floppy in: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/boot.flp And report back your results, I would much appreciate it! Same goes for anyone else who's experienced this problem.
