Hello all:

When I installed on my Ultra AXe using the april snapshot from 
ftp.freebsd.org, it worked just fine, but when I tried the June snapshot 
from http://people.freebsd.org/~jake/sparc64/, I had to get a prompt 
when it said: "Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for 
command prompt".  Then I typed "set boot_cdrom=yes" and it worked. 
Unless I did this, it dropped me to a mountroot prompt as well. 
(Although, as stated earlier, you can just provide the cdrom root 
partition at the mountroot prompt.)
