I am currently trying 9-RELEASE, but saw the same issues on 8.2. These messages happen after the USB stack initializes. Turning off the Maverick allows the system to boot up. i can then turn on the maverick after the system gets to the login prompt and the disks are detected as da0 and work just fine. the LSI device was detected as mpt0. many thanks!
