Okay I just tried the above snapshot and there are still problems -- I'm not getting the BTX error message nor the infinite scrolling hex dump, but it sits at loading /boot/default/loader.conf for about 5-10 seconds then does a straight reboot without any discernable error message. After doing some more digging, I found one suggestion from someone who experienced a similar problem with an HP Pavilion ze2000 w/ amd64 turion processor : "Installation hangs at boot until you disable the apic and serial ports as follows in the boot loader command line: set hint.apic.0.disabled=1 set hint.sio.0.disabled=1 set hint.sio.1.disabled=1" I'm going to try this and see if that helps. I don't really need the serial ports on this laptop anyways, so maybe it will work. If anyone has any other suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Kevin K.
