 This is the same problem as reported in PR 105514 when booting from
 the install CDs:
 
    http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=105514
 
 To get past this problem you need to hold down the space bar as the
 system boots, then when you see /boot/kernel/kernel on the screen, you
 can release the space bar.  The system will then boot into the
 sysinstall, and you can then install the OS.  Once the OS is
 installed, the system will boot normally.
