Showstoppers:
What about misc/72895, i386/73251 and misc/72896? The latter is not that
critical but GEOM_GPT really has edges on i386 which aren't suitable for
-stable! Removing GEOM_GPT from GENERIC would be one solution IMO, fixing of
course was even better, but I can't help.
And then there's kern/71355 which has been closed without any improovement.
The opposite: I can confirm that this also applies to the sil3114 chipset
when the BIOS (of the PCI Card (Dawicontrol DC-154))) is enabled (so booting
from it is possible) and two drives are set up as mirror!
