>Description:
The previous PR for this issue seems to be abandoned.  See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/122368 for background information.

I've also noticed the issue with the amd64 port as well.  I was not able to get the 6.2 release of amd64 to install for what I suspect is the same issue.

I'm willing to help as much as possible and have a spare drive committed for testing.

Thanks.
