I see a similar problem on an old macppc (dmesg below).
In my case, the error message is

        boot.conf: line too long

while there is no boot.conf

That should be /etc/boot.conf.
I guess there is one on the install media - what dfoes it say?

I am able to boot with

but I only have one disk in. Try that or

To be sure: you are trying to boot the USB stick to install, right?
As opposed to trying to boot the already installed system.

Also, are you sure it's an amd64 machine?
(Not related to the boot problem I guess.)
