Just got this brand new motherboard with an AMD APU and an AMD chipset.

Whenever I try to boot FreeBSD and AHCI or RAID is enabled in the BIOS, I am getting this message:

BTX loader 1.00  BTX version is 1.02
int=0000000a  err=00000000  efl=00006402  eip=000093e0

       00 f0 00 e0 00 f0 f2 e6-00 f0 6e fe 00 f0 53 ff
BTX halted

It looks like to me the BTX is taking an "Invalid TSS" exception while executing an iret instruction.
>How-To-Repeat:
I tried: - Booting from the install cdrom
         - Booting from an USB install disk
         - Booting from boot/pxeboot in PXE mode

All exhibit the same issue.
>Fix:
Selecting "Legacy IDE" mode in the BIOS configuration instead of AHCI/RAID.
