I'm not signed up for the mailing lists, so I thought I'd post here. I just got a new-to-me Thinkpad X200 and I tried to install the current 9.1/amd64 on it. I ran into the same issues as described in the two following links.

What I managed to accomplish is that I installed 9.0-RELEASE and upgraded via cvsup to 9-STABLE (actually 9.1-PRERELEASE).
I modified the kernel config file and I got the laptop to boot with 9.1. Things work fine so far. I haven't installed X yet, or anything else for that matter, but apart from the boot issue, everything seems fine.
Attached is my kernel config. I suspect that adding "device atpic" could have made it boot.
