Hi!

I'm experiencing about the same problems as written before regarding 
5.3-BETA3 (said to be fixed in BETA4) 
(http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/current/2004-09/0826.html, 
 
http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/current/2004-09/1528.html). 
My box just freezes and does not  show any error message after the error 
message below. The thing is that I was able to install the system on a 
single processor 1850 with the exact same RAID and disk configuration.

The troubling machine is a Dell 1850 with 2x2.8GHZ Noncona, 4GB of RAM
The working machine is a Dell 1850 with 2.2.8GHZ Noncona, 1GB of RAM, 
which installs fine with amd64.

Installing the i386 version works fine, amd64 is not.

It hangs initializing the ATA CD-ROMs:
