kern/139654: CD-boot failure on newer IBM server

[Charles Owens]

Hello,

As detailed in the PR, we are unable to get FreeBSD (7.1) to boot with
an IBM System x3250 M2 server.  I'm not sure what steps to take next,
and would greatly appreciate assistance.

We've also submitted kern/139653 which deal with different hardware (HP)
and is not quite as critical (very poor performance, as opposed to
complete failure)... any suggestions with this also welcome.

Thanks very much,
Charles

Tying up this loose thread... PR kern/139654 turns out to be duplicate
of kern/103602.  Patch in PR from Alexander Motin (mav@) appears to
resolve our issue (works fine in 7.1 but must be applied by hand).  Our
thanks to him for his generous support.
