Lots of different things...what is on the screen before it reboots?  There
are older Pentium motherboards with IDE controllers that are incompatible
with FreeBSD, perhaps you have one of those....although it could be many
other things as well.  The messages on the screen before the reboot will
most likely contain valuable clues as to the reason behind this difficulty
you are experiencing.
