 Just to confirm, 8.1 still has this problem. Verified that 7.2 works.
 
 In my case the I'm booting off a USB stick. The system correctly waits
 for 'usbbus4'. However the USB stick (da0) is not immediately available
 once the 'usbbus4' is present. da0 becomes available immediately after
 the kernel has tried to mount root. The kernel output from da0 is
 intermingled with the 'ROOT MOUNT ERROR' output.
 
 I'm using:
 
 FreeBSD bsd8x.ws.local 8.1-RC1 FreeBSD 8.1-RC1 #3: Fri Jun 18 21:17:53
 UTC 2010     root at bsd8x.ws.local:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/RACKX  amd64
 
 Cheers,
