Go into the BIOS, disable BIOS DMA transfers **. After that it will boot
normally. I have about 20 EVOs, which this change they run fine. This is
true of all versions of FreeBSD I have ever tried.

Still remains the question on why FreeBSD is not able to boot when bios
DMA transfers are set set to on, while XP and linux just do what they're
supposed to. It should not be necessary i.m.h.o.


Agreed. A very low priority however since it is so easy to work around.
