 I have experienced the exact same symptoms while trying to boot the
 install CD-ROM for 5.1-RELEASE on my new Intel 875P motherboard system.
 I have two SATA hard drives in a RAID 0 config (NTFS format for Win XP),
 so I'm assuming that FreeBSD is not seeing them correctly and is reacting
 as if no drives are in the system.
 
 I _can_ boot the 5.0-RELEASE CD-ROM, however, which then reports that there
 are no hard drives in system.
 
 I am currently trying different BIOS settings to see whether the "legacy" mode
 will make them appear as regular IDE drives.  In any case, it seems like this
 should not cause a panic.
