 I was trying to boot 5.2.1 using the iso images on a Toshiba satelite P20
 and having it hang. It was stopping on setting up the cbb0 device.  I was

 Somewhere else on a google search I had read about building a custom boot CD
 and putting  the following commands in the OS conf file to build it:
 nodevice cbb
 nodevice pccard
 nodevice cardbus
 device card 1
 device pcic
 
 It also mentioned to try setting hw.pci.allow_unsupportable_io_range="1".
 in the boot loader.conf file as an alternative.
 
 I did not want to build a custom boot fiule so I did the following:
 1) booted on CD
 2) when the OS selection screen is shown I choose boot the loader
 3) at the OK prompt I typed
 	set hw.pci.allow_unsupportable_io_range="1"
       boot
 
 and the system got to the standard sysinstall screens.
