Unable to uname -a (installing).
Dell Optiplex GX620
Pentium 4 model # 521 2.8 GHz
4 GB memory (DDR2)
>Description:
When trying to boot from the FreeBSD ISO at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/FreeBSD-9.0-RC2-amd64-dvd1.iso I am unable to boot with ACPI enabled or disabled.

When enabled the machine freezes with the following messages being the last before the freeze (this is after pressing enter at the CD's boot prompt).

#v+
..
hpet0: <High Precision Event Timer> iomem 0xfed00000-0xfed003ff on acpi0
Timecounter "HPET" frequency 14318180 Hz quality 950
Event timer "HPET" frequency 14318180 Hz quality 450
Event timer "HPET1" frequency 14318180 Hz quality 440
Event timer "HPET2" frequency 14318180 Hz quality 440
acpi_button0: <Power Button> on acpi0
pcib0: <ACPI Host-PCI bridge> port 0xcf8-0xcff on acpi0
pci0: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib0
#v-

In verbose mode it freezes with the last messages as follows.

#v+
..
pcib0: matched entry for 0.29.INTA
pcib0: slot 29 INTA hardwired to IRQ 21
pcib0: allocated type 3 (0xdf700000-0xdf7003ff) for rid 10 of pci0:0:29:7
unknown: Lazy allocation of 0x400 bytes rid 0x10 type 3 at 0xdf700000
#v-

Once the machine freezes the only way to restart is to hold the power button in until the machine turns off, then turn it on (USB keyboard is unresponsive).  I've waited over 15 minutes without response.

If I disable ACPI then I get a different message (follows - only the verbose version).

#v+

I'm not sure where to proceed from here.  Please let me know if you need more information.
