Hi,

-> I'm trying to install 5.1-RELEASE on my Acer 507T notebook - without
-> success. I'm using the boot floppies for installation. As soon as
-> mfsroot was read and the kernel is booting the system just hangs after
-> the following output.
-> 
-> atapci0: <Intel PIIX4 UDMA33 controller> port 0x8000-0x800f at device
-> 7.1 on pci0
-> 
-> "boot" or "boot -v" made no difference in the output at this specific
-> point of the boot process. The notebook was running just fine with 4.4
-> to 4.7-STABLE.

I had the same problem. Look at the Acer database at

http://gerda.univie.ac.at/freebsd-laptops/

and looks for my notebook entry (507DX). There is the solution I found
to this problem.

Cheers,
