I was trying to boot 5.2.1 using the iso images on a Toshiba satelite P20
and having it hang. It was stopping on setting up the cbb0 device. I was
trying to boot 5.2.1 using the iso images on a Toshiba satelite P20 and

Somewhere else on a google search I had read about building a custom boot CD
and putting the following commands in the OS conf file to build it:
nodevice cbb
nodevice pccard
nodevice cardbus
device card 1
device pcic
It also mentioned to try setting hw.pci.allow_unsupportable_io_range="1".
in the boot loader.conf file as an alternative.
I did not want to build a custom boot fiule so I did the following:
1) booted on CD
2) when the OS selection screen is shown I choose boot the loader
3) at the OK prompt I typed
set hw.pci.allow_unsupportable_io_range="1"
boot
and the system got to the standard sysinstall screens.
