>Description:
It's a strange little bug, that I originally found when when setting up
a HP Pavilion dv8000 laptop to run FreeBSD/amd64 6.1-beta4.  The boot
loader(?) would continuously dump these hex characters on the screen
causing it to scroll at an unreadable rate.

This same problem is still occurring with the FreeBSD/amd64 6.2-Beta2 CD
(tested bootonly CD).  My solution to the problem was to hit the space
bar until the speakers beeped for a couple of seconds (when you see
/boot/kernel/kernel you can release the space bar), then it loads and
executes the kernel and proceeds to sysinstall.

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-amd64/2006-March/007883.html

Once sysinstall has finished the install of FreeBSD/amd64, the system
has no problems booting from the hard drive.

 Hmm I only had the emails from Prakash in my history
 which I used as a reference, I emailed back to him and
 the bugs@ list asking for more feedback.
 
 Sadly that seemed to have missed the impact (my fault).
 
 So, I will reopen the ticket and ask you for feedback
 then ;-)
 
 Does this occur with recent 7-CURRENT ISO images as well?
 Does this occur with other images then the AMD64 one? e.g.
 the I386 one?
 
 Would it be possible for you to see what is going on there?
 
 Thanks and my apologies for closing the ticket based on the
 wrong information!
 
 cheers
 remko

 I finally had a chance to retest, and so far FreeBSD is failing to boot with the i386 ISO also.  I have tested several versions:
 
 6.1-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso
 6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso
 7.0-20070928-SNAP-i386-bootonly.iso
 
 And they all give me the same error:

 This was the output of the 7.0-20070928-SNAP-i386-bootonly CD.
 
 I still get the crash with the FreeBSD/amd64 CD, but the output is unreadable due to it constantly scrolling on the screen.  If I hold hold down the space bar as detailed in the PR, it will boot into sysinstall (7.0-20070928-SNAP-amd64-bootonly.iso)

 I downloaded that image and looked what is located at the eip=3D00459b43 in
 the kernel image. Since low mapping + 0xc0000000 =3D virt mapping, we shall
 be at the 0xc0459b43. It appears that this is the following fragment
 of i386/i386/locore.s:
 
 	movl	%cr0,%eax		/* get control word */
 	orl	$CR0_PE|CR0_PG,%eax	/* enable paging */
 	movl	%eax,%cr0		/* and let's page NOW! */
 
 ;;;; IT IS THERE
 	pushl	$begin			/* jump to high virtualized address */
 	ret
 
 It faults immediately after enabling the paging. Instead of the pushl $begi=
 n,
 it points to the wrong opcode
 	lock call something
 
 Might be, the initial page tables are corrupted somehow ?
 As a wild guess, might be A20 line is not turned on properly ?

 I have identical issues on my HP Pavillion dv9420us with FreeBSD 7.  
 However, the latest stable version of Debian amd64 boots just fine.
