Couple other suggestions:
-Disable ACPI
-make sure the BIOS is up to date.

and other items here may help if all else fails. http://devwiki.pfsense.org/BootTroubleShooting

Thank you, Chris.  I could get to the point where it brought the reboot
screen.  I chose to reboot into safemode where we saw an issue with IRQ
6 which is the embedded SATA IRQ.  However, it did allow to start the
install process of pfSense. I will try this tomorrow.
Thank you for all your help.

I am attempting to install pfSense on a Dell PowerEdge RS200 server.

This has a 64 bit ES4500 2.2 Ghz Processor with 1 GB memory and 80 gig

SATA hard drive.

The install goes so far and then I start getting ad4: and acd0 errors (errors that occur on ad4 seem to occur on acd0

acd0: SET FEATURE ENABLE RCACHE: task timeout completing request directly

acd0: SET FEATURE ENABLE WCACHE task timeout  completing request

SATA support in FreeBSD 6.2 doesn't always work well, 6.3 has proven to work much better with any box with SATA devices. I suggest trying this
iso:
http://cvs.pfsense.org/~sullrich/testing_images/6/FreeBSD_RELENG_6_3/pfS
ense_RELENG_1_2/

Which is pfSense 1.2 with a FreeBSD 6.3 base. There are about a dozen people running it in production, it works fine. It's similar to what 1.2.1 will be.
