So i had 5.1 Beta loaded with no problems (disk2), other then the network io
was REALLY slow when every the disks did anything. Someone posted a irq
patch that needed testing, so i updated to current and applied the patch.
after build(world|kernel) install(world|kernel) and mergemaster the system 
was never the same.  I can no longer boot FreeBSD. I reinstalled 5.1 beta,
no joy. I installed 5.1R on same drive (newfsed). Then thinking something 
in the installed hosed eeprom i did a set-defaults. still no joy, so i 
tried installing on a different disk.  same thing. It always hangs at the 
same point. The odd thing is Solaris boots with no issues. This is the only 
thing i get on the console. I also don't have serial port access so this 
is a pen & paper screen dump.  BTW disk 1 is solaris, and if there is 
anything i can do from solaris to help just let me know. Disk 2 and 3 
are FreeBSD 5.1R.

boot disk 3
FreeBSD/sparc64 boot block
boot path : /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@3,0:a
boot loader: /boot/loader
