I mean it SHUTDOWN my machine. There is a possibility that the machine contains various components which are not fully supported in FreeBSD/amd64. What happens if you try booting FreeBSD/i386 instead? I know this may not be the most satisfying suggestion, but if it's that or not getting the machine to boot at all, well, there it is. I'd venture a guess that whichever software came with the machine originally is not quite 64 bit clean either. -- Peter N. M.
