Umm - afaik that is the latest version available.

not possible, as I won't get that far. As I wrote, booting
from disk1s1a does not work. I do not get anything except a
blank screen with the character "_" (*). I do not even get a
message that there was no system to boot, so the BIOS seems
to recognize at least the bootability of the installation.
=> I don't even get a boot prompt.
The only thing that does work then is ctrl-alt-del <sigh>

With booting from CD I can then load and start everything
from disk1s1a via the loader - that is no problem (this     
includes disabling apic, as I wrote).

I thought FreeBSD 6 is CURRENT, so with 5.3 being nearly STABLE...
