Re: FreeBSD OS installation stuck after selecting Boot installer

No devices show up with "?" :

Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ufs/FreeBSD_Install [ro,noatime]...
mountroot: waiting for device /dev/ufs/FreeBSD_Install...
TCP_ratelimit: Is now initialized
Mounting from ufs:/dev/ufs/FreeBSD_Install failed with error 19.

Loader variables:
  vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ufs/FreeBSD_Install
  vfs.root.mountfrom.options=ro,noatime

Manual root filesystem specification:
  <fstype>:<device> [options]
      Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
      and with the specified (optional) option list.

    eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a
        zfs:zroot/ROOT/default
        cd9660:/dev/cd0 ro
          (which is equivalent to: mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/cd0 /)

Did you intend a "?" above (to show the vaild disk boot
devices as seen at this point)?

My memory is that typing just return to such a mountroot> prompt normally
panics in my example contexts.
