I got a panic:
  panic: spin_lock: 0xc240ba6c, indefinite wait!

and the backtrace:
  exponential_backoff(c04eec44) at exponential_backoff+0xa2

Other interesting boot messages before the panic are:

nata* drivers are compiled in an SMP kernel, running on Athlon64X2
with ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 .  If I yank off the DVD-ROM drive from the
system, it proceeds to mount root fs, then failed:

  Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1h
  no such device 'ad'
  setrootbyname failed
  ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp
  Root mount failed: 6

  Manual root filesystem specification:
    <fstype>:<device>  Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
			 eg. ufs:da0s1a
    ?                  List valid disk boot devices
    <empty line>       Abort manual input

  mountroot>?
  Possibly valid devices for 'ufs' root:
   "console" "ctty" "mem" "pts" "ptc" "log" "sc" "FD" "bpf" "sio" "mixer" "apm" "ccd" "pci" "xpt" "kbd" "acpi" "ata"

Although this mother board has a SATA port, the IDE drives are PATA one
and connected to the PATA ports.  Another machine whose root fs is on
a SCSI drive booted without a problem.

Cheers.
