Just upgraded from 5.2.1 p9 to 5.2-current.  Received the following error 
during boot (copied by hand, please excuse typo's):

ata0-master: FAILURE - ATA_IDENTIFY no interrupt
ata0-master: FAILURE - ATA_IDENTIFY no interrupt
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a

Cursory google search and scan of UPDATING found only two encounters with this 
problem, both of which used a DVD RW drive.  Thinking this might be the 
culprit, I disabled (read unplugged) my Sony DVD+/-RW drive and rebooted to 
no avail.  I attempted to boot w/ disabled ACPI, but I get the same message.

For now I have failed over to the 5.2.1 kernel which appears to work in some 
broken manner with the -current world (enough to run X).  Any suggestions for 
bootstrapping the -current kernel?

Thanks,
Justin
