Well, no one knows an answer probably mate. 

As a a total stab, try toggling 'pnp os installed'.

Then it sounds like the bootcode does'nt like your machine to me.
Does 4.x work?

Nobody has bothered to offer me a solution. Let alone a reason!
1st: People have tried to answer you, if spam-blocking means you don't 
get mail, consider changing the configuration if you can, else take a 
look in the archives,

  http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-February/
2nd: Don't cross-post, bugs@ is not the list to post to untill you have 
positively identified it as a bug, in which case you should submit a 
problem report.

3rd: Don't SHOUT, and don't swear in the subject line, people might 
simply delete your mail.

4th: There is regularly sent an email about how to get the best out of 
the mailinglist, read it. If you haven't received a copy you can read it 
here: http://www.lemis.com/questions.html

5th: People can only help you based on the information you provide. If 
you have a dificult problem, or do not provide sufficient information, 
expect answers to come more slowly.

...
n'th: Your problem is difficult to debug since you don't get far enough 
to grap some output message. To recite my own response to your last mail:

There is a boot-only cd that you can use for rescue purposes, (I'm not
sure if the install cd will work also. The install cd will give you
sysinstall so you can repeat any steps that might have failed.)
You should be able to get a shell and use the most basic commands, a
good one is dmesg - yeah, I know it's a bit difficult to grap the output
and paste it in your next post :-(.
Things to try: can you mount your partitions? can you find /sbin/init or
/stand/sysinstall? Things to post: output of dmesg, your drive
partitions, other stuff that you think is usefull.
Using the install disk you can also reinstall the boot manager or mbr. 
If you don't get to the boot prompt, then could be that: your mbr is 
screwed, your disk geometry is not recognized, or your partition table 
is screwed. Sometimes bios and fbsd do not agree on the disk geometry.

Hope this helps you debug the problem.
Cheers, Erik

I can't BOOT! You all need to WAKE UP and HELP a BROTHER!!!

Hello!

I am running a new HP Compaq DC7100 CMT. For more information, check:
http://www.antonline.com/p_PC928A-ABA--DC7100-CMT-P4-3.0-512MB-40GB-DVD-WXPP-3-3-3-_102136.htm

I've been trying to install FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE for a long time now.
Nobody has bothered to offer me a solution. Let alone a reason!

FreeBSD doesn't boot at all. It doesn't enter the loader prompt, it reboots
before it gets to it. Hence, I've been getting a lot of shit for not being
verbose enough. I've tried disabling ACPI and DMA from the BIOS, which doesn't
contain no settings relating to my use of OS.

I decided to try OpenBSD. And perhaps get more info out of it. But it seems
to be having a problem with my USB, freezing at boot:

uvm_fault[0xd05d62a0, 0x0, 0, 1) -> e
kernel: page fault trap, code = 0
Stopped at usb_schedsoftintr+0x10: movl 0x4(%edx),%eax
ddb>

But I need USB for almost all my devices, keyboard, mouse. So I grabbed this:
