It seems to be based on the Intel E8870 chipset. I was able to test a recent kernel, as of Monday, Feb 23 including this cvs commit:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/ia64/ia64/machdep.c?rev=1.176&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

on a Intel Tiger 4 box, which is also based on the same chipset. Without the above change, you'll typically  see the machine reset during bootup.
