I'm successfully running FreeBSD/amd64 on a HP nx6125 which is also
Turion64.  Have you tried searching for other people's experiences
with the dv8000?

This implies it isn't an amd64-specific problem.

Is this just a BTX dump - 1/2 screen of hex data or is it really
scrolling massive amounts of data?  If it's a BTX dump, you could
post a transcription (or a link to a photo) to -stable.  There are
a couple of people who undterstand BTX.

That's a bug in the documentation.  FreeBSD should work on any amd64
compatible processor.
