Why formerly?  As far as I know, intel's implementation
of the AMD64 extension is _still_ called EM64T.  Do not
confuse it with IA64 which is something completely
different.

First, this is the wrong list.  Your question should
rather be asked on the freebsd-questions mailing list.

Second, we cannot help you because your message contains
zero details.  What exactly did you try to do (i.e which
ISO did you download, exactly)?  And what was the result
when you tried to boot it?  Did it hang, freeze, crash,
print any error messages?  And at what point during the
installation did the problem occur?

Without any details, our answer can only be as exact as
your question.  I.e. when simply asking "Why can't I
install", then the answer is simply "Because you did
something wrong".

Best regards
