Bug#612323: kfreebsd-image-8.1-1-amd64: Can't boot install CD, fatal trap 19 and firewire module
Yes, I'm aware of all those other posts.
The thing is that I don't want to recompile the kernel just to install
the OS. It seems the problem is in the firewire module because
everyone recompiling without the module gets a working install/setup.
I'd be ok if there is a way to pass a kernel parameter with grub to
avoid loading the firewire module at boot but I was told on ##FreeBSD
@ irc.freenode.net that it wasn't possible and that the only way was
recompiling the kernel.
I want to make up my own mind on this issue because I can't believe
this to be this "inflexible".
