No, but it is a true statement that there are more PRs than the few
FreeBSD users willing to investigate and follow up on them have time to
handle, despite the best efforts of several people to keep the database in
check.
Moreover, checking PR 20939, to which I assume you refer, I think sheldon
was justified in closing it, because there's nothing which anyone can
realistically do based on the information you provided there ("it doesnt
boot").
Basically, that PR looks like one of any number of others which only say
"I tried to install FreeBSD on my machine and it didnt work" with the
solution usually being "hardware problem" or "user error".
