This is happening immediately after the first disk hit...
before the kernel gets control.
I'm trying to install FreeBSD 3.2.
Here's my hand transcribed dump:

int=0000000d  err=00000000  efl=00030083  eip=00009013
eax=0000dfd0  ebx=00000000  ecx=00000001  edx=0009fa09
esi=00000270  edi=000000d1  ebp=0000ffff  esp=000003dc
cs=f000  ds=9f80  es=9f80    fs=0040  gs=0000  ss=9dfd
cs:eip=2e 0f 01 1e 1f f1 0f 01-54 08 89 5c 26 c6 44 25
ss:esp=00 c8 80 9f d1 00 70 02-00 00 f0 03 00 00 a0 fa
System Halted

hope this is accurate...  :)
