 Just wanted to add:
 
 I succeeded in installing a 9-STABLE snapshot =
 (FreeBSD-9.0-RELENG_9-20120328) on my HP/Compaq DL385 G2 server.
 With 9.0 RELEASE it showed the same problem "Root mount waiting for: =
 usbus1 usbus0" as my old DL145 G3.
 
 If there was a regression in USB code in 9.0 RELEASE it seems to have =
 vanished by now in the 9-STABLE branch.
 
 I cannot confirm this for my DL145 G3 as this crappy hardware died =
 unexpectedly.
 
 So if anybody following this PR had the same USB trouble installing 9.0 =
 RELEASE would be so kind to retry the install with a few days old =
 9-STABLE snapshot - just to confirm that the install is now possible =
 with 9-STABLE - that would be great!
 
 You can download fresh 9-STABLE snapshots from the allbsd ftp server[1].
 
 Regards,
 Kai.
