Yes, sorry for the limited information. I am still building my skill-set.

boot -s fails at the same point. Safe mode gets me to a frozen login 
prompt. I see the DRAK 5 Virtual Media drives listed during the boot, 
but I am not sure how to get a trace of the boot sequence to supply 
here, given the fact that I never mount a file system.

(Sorry for the truncated details, but I shot a video and typed in the 
parts that seem most relevant).

Dropping to boot prompt I list the loaded modules and see

[...] mpt_raid.1 mpt.1 mpt_cam.1 mpt_core.1 [...]

For grins, loaded mfi, boot -s, same result.
