I have tried both the i386 and amd64 current snapshots on an HP z400.
In all versions the loader stops just after the message:
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/md0
This system has the Intel=AE X58 Express chipset and a 4 core W3520 Xeon CP=
U.
I've tried various BIOS settings and turning off CPU core, hyperthreading=

etc. I expect the problem is in the motherboard's Intel=AE X58 Express chi=
pset.
If anyone has any experience with a similar system using this chipset, let=

me know if you did anything to make it boot the install CD.
Thanks.
