Hi there,
I have the same problem.  I have a T41, removing the cd drive will mean
that you can boot cleanly.  I suffered from the same problem earlier
this year.  I have had no problem with 5.3-BETA7.

It appears that this regression was caused by an ata driver commit
before RELENG_5_3 was branched.

If you are going to roll sources back, roll them back to 08:00:00 UTC
 on 16 Oct 2004, use the branch RELENG_5, but don't use the branch
 RELENG_5_3 until this gets sorted out.
