Windows 2000 installed fine and without a problem but when i try to install FreeBSD as soon as it goes past the line: pcib1: on motherboard pci1: on pcib1 As soon as these two lines come up the error light on my system goes on, the diagnostic board shows the PCI1 aned NMI error lights are on, the only thing that the those LED's tell me is that "an Error occurred on PCI channel bus1 or system board", and "Non-maskable interrupt occurred" After that it will continues loading all the drives and probing devices for about 30 seconds and then the system reboots. I have been trying to research this and am coming up empty handed. All I know is that I've been working on this problem for about a month now and that Windows 2000 works fine on it (but I want FreeBSD). Any advice or anything would really help.
