After doing some more research, it seems that I am having the same
problem than described by this person:
http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=4502
however I really don't understand why I would need to move partitions
around to allow the installer to even start? This machine has 2GB of RAM
which I guess should be plenty enough to start the installer without
swapping... The hard drive is a 80GB WD IDE drive. The machine is not
configured to use any RAID.
Thanks!

Hi,
I have a hard time booting FreeBSD 8.0 on one of my machines. It is an
older Pentium with HyperThreading. It was running fine with 7.2 but the
kernel crashed after a buildworld/buildkernel/installkernel/reboot of 8.0.
I had not updated FreeBSD on that machine for a while so I decided to burn
a CD of 8.0 i386 (disc1) and boot the machine with it. This does not work
either however as the kernel wants to automatically reboot the machine
right after the "Probing Device" stage. Here is the error message I get:
Going nowhere without my init cpuid = 1
Does anyone know what can be causing this and how to solve it?
Thanks!
