Device probe issue (keeps rebooting) v.7.2

Whenever i boot from a FreeBSD cd, the device probe encounters a problem, and then reboots the system.

Most notably it seems to hang for a while (timing out I presume), before these lines:
Code: 
uhub0: device problem(timeout) disabling port 3
panic: ohci_add_done at (some memory address)
cannot dump, no dump device defined
Rebooting in 15 seconds, press any key on console to abort

At this point, the keyboard isn't responsive any longer, so i can't get it to stop rebooting, (which means some of the probe text is based from memory, since i get 15 seconds to note down stuff, for every 2 mins of loading screen).

Anyone know what is going on, and how i can get it to stop rebooting all the time, and instead let me get on with installing?
 
What exactly is hanging before this message is displayed?

Try disabling USB/legacy support in the BIOS.

ACPI loads just before PCI and USB probes, so you could also try booting with ACPI disabled (from the loader menu).
 
Hmm, that got me past the infinite reboot loop.

Now i'm stuck at:
Code: 
GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider md0 is ufsid/49faae8a8342179f.
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0c
/stand/sysinstall running as init on vty0
GEOM_LABEL: Label ufsid/49faae8a8342179f removed.

Basically, nothing seems to happen from this point onwards. No disc or cd activity. Keyboard stops responding.

Was using a USB keyboard, but plugged a ps2 converter on it, just to check if it was waiting for keyboard input, just after i had disabled usb. Still no go.
