pentium II cpu cache prevents boot

Hello All,
I've been trying to install FreeBSD-4.10 stable on a PcPartner BXA828D mainboard. This mainboard features the Intel 82440BX chipset, and I fitted it with a Pentium-II 450mhz with 512kb cache. Furthermore, I've added one vga adapter and two nic's (RTL8139). Storage is in the form of one generic ATAPI cd-rom drive and one Western Digital caviar AC21200H (1.2gb) ide disk. I used 256mb ram, as well as a 64mb module.
Now I have been unable to boot FreeBSD 4.10-stable on this system unless I turn of the internal cache. This is what I did and I installed the minimal FreeBSD distribution this way from the cd. I then tried to boot from the hard disk, but the same problem: it'd only boot with the cpu's internal cache turned off. With cache turned on, it would load the kernel but at the point where it normally shows the copyright message it hangs (or reboots sometimes), the screen does flicker momentarily as it normally does before printing the copyright message.
So, I tried a linux distro (Mandrake 10.0), which booted just fine with the cpu cache enabled, which makes me think the cpu cache is not defect or anything.
Then I tried FreeBSD 5.2.1, which also wouldn't boot with cpu internal cache enabled. Also tried disabling ACPI on both 4.10-stable and 5.2.1.
Now my last hope is to build a new kernel on the installed 4.10-stable, which will obviously take a while with the cache disabled.
In the mean time, does anyone out there know what's going on here? Any help is apreciated! I've copied the dmesg output from the
