>Environment:
Cant even load OS. Fails when starting installer
>Description:
When trying to install freeBSD 8.0 on ESX server 3.5 after selecting any loader option i get an error BTX halted.

I also get some kind of memory dump.
Could it be connected to bios settings or is it my virtual machine or even HW (Intel XEON 64 bit). 

Please he-e-e-e-elp.

Sincerely yours,
Ilya Zhuravel
>How-To-Repeat:
Install an installation DVD and press 1. If you see "BTX halted" exception you've got the same problem.
>Fix:
Googled alot but haven't found any specific answer why this happens.
