Install disk gives "READ_DMA recovered from missing interrupt" errors...

Hiya.

I've been trying to get FreeBSD onto a bunch of Nexcom blade servers
that we have hanging around - all of the blades are HDB31670's, with
Intel P-III 1.1Ghz, 1Gb of RAM and 40Gb Fujitsu HDD's. I had a nightmare
of a time with 4.9 with kernel panics on boot, so I tried 5.2, but I'm
still seing problems. I've included the dmesg below, but basically I'm
seeing the same error over and over while sysinstall tries to write the
partition table. 

Has anyone seen this before or something similar, or can anyone offer
any advice? I'd love to get FBSD installed on these blades since I
believe that it'll perform better than RedHat or Debian on there (which
is the whole reason for this).

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
