First off, I have never pretended to know what I am
talking about... I am just a random subscriber.  Take
what I say with a grain of salt.

That being out of the way, a quick little comment.

You previously mentioned you had a compaq evo (?). 
Have you tried making bootable floppies and trying
them?

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-pre.html#INSTALL-FLOPPIES

Also, have you tried experimenting with your bios
settings?  Perhaps Advanced, Device options? 
Specifically the ACPI settings... (I kinda doubt this
will have any effect, however).

Was the error similar to the following? (after loading
bootstrap loader)

BTX halted


Hopefully someone who knows more than I (accounts for 
pretty much everyone on this list...) comprehends what
this means.  I'm without clue.

Hth, and good luck.
