Same symptoms here with HP dl385's.

I've tried it with today sources (BETA2 ;D) without success :/
My last resort (verbose boot) doesn't work so I've used the loader 
prompt to set hw.pci.mcfg

My mail on stable talk about the same problems:

Good news are that I am also testing 8 on a 360 g4 (also amd64) and it 
has had other problems booting BETA1 ... until today!. It has started 
perfectly with BETA2 sources from a fresh 7.2 release BD. I plan to test 
multicast routing (xorp) on this box ... so let's see.

Regards,
Raul.
