FreeBSD IA64 on Compaq DL590?

[m]

Has anyone successfully booted IA64 BSD 5.3 on a Compaq DL590 machine?

The DL590 is a multiprocessor Itanium machine; we just picked one up, and
I'm having problems booting from the install disk -- all goes OK until it
gets to "Entering Kernel", at which point it freezes.

Any help would be most appreciated; if anyone requires more information to
assist, I will gladly provide it.
