&gt;Hi,
&gt;
&gt;I'm trying to install FreeBSD 5.3 on my Toshiba Tecra 9100, using
&gt;the 5.3 boot-only CD, which I burnt from an iso I downloaded.
&gt;Unfortunately, it hangs in the Freebsd boot-up sequence after the
&gt;bootloader had loaded with the last message being: &quot; uhci3:
&gt;[GIANT-LOCKED]&quot;.
&gt;
&gt;I think it's related to the bug reported in this link :
&gt;http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2004-October/009618.html,
&gt;but I'm unable to determine what the best course of action is from
&gt;here. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any, if so, how did
&gt;you get around it?
&gt;
&gt;
&gt;
Disable USB in the BIOS and try it again. You could also try verbose 
loading, safe mode, and disable ACPI at the boot menu if that doesn't help.
