Thanks to Glen and Steve and all those who replied to my initial posting. I am quite pleased after having been "figuratively gone" from (but still running) FreeBSD for coming up on 2 years (hey--when it's so rock solid, it's easy when you don't have to ask questions :) that i can come back to these lists and still find lots of people willing to help! You guys (and gals) are awesome! Anyway, it seems I have solved my problems with this new hardware. There was really two issues I bumped into. After installing 9.1-R I saw this "timeout" problem to ahcich1 device and it would "hang" for about 5 minutes then continue to boot. Then I tried 9.2-PRE but there the keyboard was not recognized and I kept getting infinite "ugen0.2: ..... (disconnected)" errors at the install screen. One person said to fiddle in the BIOS with the USB settings. I went into the BIOS and disabled "Intel USB 3.0 Mode" support (this is a very new motherboard with USB 3.0). That fixed the issue! For those curious about -current, I also tried to install that and it experienced the same USB problems until I disabled this 3.0 mode. Once I got past that and installed 9.2-PRE again, I let it timeout again during boot. Then I looked at the dmesg output much more closely than I could have during the boot from DVD. It turns out that I only THOUGHT it was a timeout to the SSD. The Intel Series 520 SSD was NOT the issue. I was getting a timeout on ahcich1 which from the dmesg output was my DVD burner! The SSD was on ahcich5. The only difference here is that by sheer happenstance, I connected the SSD to the SATA port owned by the Intel Z87 (Lynx Point) controller. The DVD burner (which is probably 5 years old) was hooked to ASRock's own "ASMedia ASM1061" controller. Apparently this controller doesn't play well with my older DVD burner. I switched ports and put both on the Intel controller and BOOM! Success! No timeouts, no funny business. Nothing. At this point i don't mind at all turning off the USB 3.0 mode because I have yet to actually see a 3.0 device in the wild and I certainly won't own one anytime soon. :) .... so it's kind of a moot point. I'm sure the USB developers will see this problem and tackle it in time. I'm just thrilled to be booting on this new H/W! Thanks again to all on the list that replied! -Jr
