 Here's some more data points. Boot fails on these models:
 
 Compaq X1000
 http://www.freebsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=20697
 "It's a p4 2.4GhZ with 256MB ram, 64MB (shared) Radeon 9000GP w/
 builtin Broadcom wlan b+g+bluetooth, DVD+CDRW... [...] I boot from cd
 (no floppy drive) and I get to the initial menu to choose the
 different ways to boot. I can choose any one of them and it starts to
 boot, then stops turning, then power's off. "
 
 Compaq Presario R3030

 "CVS checkout of last thursday [May 6th, 2004], made complete new CD set.
 [...] Everything goes nice (for the first few seconds ;-))
 than I get the "Welcome to FreeBSD!" bootmenu,
 but whatever I choose here, it displays the kernel load message
 and then shuts power off ...."
 
 HP Pavilion zv5000z
 http://archive.pilgerer.org/mharc/html/freebsd-current/2004-06/msg01951.html
 "There are at least 5 other people I have noticed who
 have expressed this behavior in different places.
 I would be willing to run some kind of diagnostic on
 my equipment if you can recommend something. FBSD 4.10 [i386
 gives no error messages. It just powers down after a
 few seconds."
 
 Compaq Presario R3000Z Series
 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=amd64/67745 - original bug report
 
 Compaq Presario R3140US - personally confirmed
 
 NetBSD and Linux can boot the same computers with no problem:
 http://www1.uop.edu/~khughes/presario-r3120us/ - Slackware
 http://cmb.phys.cwru.edu/kisner/linux/compaq-r3000/ - (R3190US) Debian
 http://xyzzy.freeshell.org/dmesg-gentoo-amd64-compaq_presario_r3140us
 http://xyzzy.freeshell.org/dmesg-netbsd-i386-compaq_presario_r3140us
 http://xyzzy.freeshell.org/dmesg-netbsd-amd64-compaq_presario_r3140us
 
 I'm cc'ing this to freebsd-ia32 and freebsd-mobile as this isn't
 exclusively an AMD64 issue, it occurs on Pentium 4 notebooks as well
 as Athlon 64's under i386 mode. Its seems to be specific to newer
 HP/Compaq laptops.
 
 Any suggestions or fixes would be greatly appreciated. :) I really
 want to get FreeBSD on this machine so I'll try just about anything.
 
 Thanks,
