System is an HP Pavillion DV6255 Notebook.
It has an nVidia nForce 430 chipset
AMD Turion64 X2 processor
160gb SATA hard drive.
>Description:
This problem exists on all flavors of FreeBSD from 6.1 to the most recent 7.0 snapshot.  Both i386 and AMD64 platforms tested.

Below is the output from BTX at the time it dumps.  The error repeats if the no-acpi option is chosen over the standard install.

BTX halted


>How-To-Repeat:
attempt to install on a DV6255 Notebook from HP
>Fix:
Unknown.

it was suggested that masking off some portion of BTX might help.
also it was suggested that some users with more flexible bios systems were able to make adjustments to the hard disk setting.  On the Notebook this isn't an option.
