I've checked if APIC is enabled in the BIOS and it was. As a test I disabled it to see if it would make any difference. It seems the boot cd can't even load its kernel correctly and hangs at a certain point. btw. I'm trying to migrate from i386 8.0-RELEASE to amd64 8.0-RELEASE. So the good news is that APIC is enabled and that my disks actually show up in dmesg. The bad news is that sysinstall can't see them. I might be able to install the amd64 version by hand but I'll reserve that for later when there is no other solution. I'm a bit worried that I might mess up the system since I've never done anything like it.
