When the install CD boots, you normally get presented with a menu (same on an 
installed FreeBSD system) which allows you to choose to boot the system with; 
1) ACPI Disabled 2) ACPI Enabled...a safe mode etc. etc.  If you are not 
getting to that then it sound like you might be at the loader console.
