Can't install FreeBSD amd64 (intel DP45GS)

[David Peall]

Hi

I have a new box here a Intel DP45GS and a Quad core Intel with 4GB ram that I would like to install FreeBSD on.
I've tried booting with 7.0, 7.1, 7.2 and 8-BETA2 amd64 and all get stuck on:
	Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/md0

I found the following:
http://blog.elitecoderz.net/freebsd-freezes-on-trying-to-mount-root-from-ufsdevmd0-and-is-stucked/2009/01/

Which suggests disabling USB2 I don't seem to have that bios option and tried disabling USB completely, but still no joy. (also leaves me without a keyboard ;-) 

There are no PATA ports for me to mount an older cdrom and there are only USB ports on the motherboard.  I'm a bit stuck as to how I should proceed, any ideas welcome.

Kind regards
