BTX Loader Hangs or Halts

I’m attempting to install FreeBSD 10.0 on an HP/Compaq machine that has an Athlon64 x 2 processor, proprietary motherboard.  With a WD3200AAKS drive (320 GB) installed, I get the message BTX Loader Starting … and the system hangs.  With a WD1000FYPS the BTX Loader halts and I get a display of all the registers.  I’m booting from a DVD.  Both disks tested fine in other machines.  The system has 4 GB on memory.  Anyone have any ideas as to what’s happening?  Is the Athlon64 x2 not supported?

						Thanks in advance - Bob Mulholland
