panic: ufs_dirbad

[Jay Hall]

I found the problem, and I think it might be hardware related.

In order for the OS to install properly, I replaced the 80 wire cable 
with a 40 wire cable.  Once the install was completed, I replaced the 80 
wire cable and all is well.

If anyone would like more information, please let me know.
