It appears by the motherboard specs (that I looked up) you probably need to be trying FreeBSD/amd64. Feel free to try that (I've noticed a lot of people misunderstand the i386/amd64/ia64 names, and try to install ia64 on the wrong hardware) If that doesn't resolve the issue, please give us something to work with. P.S. for the record, I hate the architecture names amd64/ia64 ;)
