I'll guess that the 2-CPU motherboard, when there is only one cpu installed, is confusing the SMP probes. The Tyan S1668 motherboard is rather old (circa 1996), but it still runs FreeBSD 4.3 just fine. Only when I try to boot 5.3 from the three boot/kern1/kern2 floppies are there problems. Here are the verbose boot messages. It does not continue after the "avail memory" line.

This is the final line of his bootup sequence: Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec. If i refer to my personal system i can see that after that the harddisks are probed. So something might be wrong there. Let's exclude that and try starting without ACPI to see what that does.
