Anyone want to take a stab at this?  I would really like to get FreeBSD
installed and running on this machine.  I cannot find a snapshot site
that has updated snapshots post-5.3-RELEASE, and just can't get my head
around building a custom release (though, I will keep trying).

Here is the exact output (hand-transcribed) from booting a 5.3-RELEASE
amd64 ISO:

-----------------8<----------------------------------------
[...]
fwohci0: <Texas Instruments TSB43AB21/A/AI/A-EP> mem 0xd0000000-0xd0003fff,0xd0008000-0xd00087ff irq 17 at device 6.0 on pci0
fwohci0: Reserved 0x800 bytes for rid 0x10 type 3 at 0xd0008000
fwohci0: [MPSAFE]

NMI ISA b0, EISA ff
RAM parity error, likely hardware failure.

Shutting down ACPI
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort
-----------------8<----------------------------------------

I get the same message (though with slightly different pointers) when
booting the 5.3-RELEASE amd64 ISO with ACPI disabled, as well as with
the FreeSBIE 1.1 i386 ISO with and without ACPI.

I went to http://www.freebsd.org/releases/snapshots.html and from there
to ftp://current.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/amd64/ but couldn't
find anything newer than late-October.

I did just now download the latest snapshot of dragonflybsd, dated
2004-12-22 (dfly-20041222-stable.iso.gz), and it will boot up without
panic on fwohci.

Any help at all getting 64bit FreeBSD installed and running on this
machine would be most appreciated.  Thanks.
