I had no problem installing a pre-release version of 7.0 a few months ago. Why 
is the serial output unreadable? The Soekris BIOS talks at 9600 baud and 
FreeBSD defaults to 19200 so you might need to change baud rates in mid boot. I 
also needed to disable DMA as a few recent messages have mentioned. But it 
doesn't sound like you're even getting that far. What are you installing from 
and to?
