Recently I purchased an HP p2-1334 with an Inetl Core i3 and 6GB or RAM.  My sole reason for purchasing it is to use virtualization which needs VT-x and EPT which the i3 has.  However, my installations of FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE-amd64, FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE-amd64, FreeeBSD 10-CURRENT-amd64 (2 snapshots; r245673 was one), and also an attempt with FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE-i386 all fail to boot.

What happens after a successful installation is it tries to PXE boot and then fails to find a bootable disk.  However, OpenBSD 5.2-i386/amd64, NetBSD 6.0-amd64, and OpenIndiana 151a7 all succesfully install and subsequently boot.  

I tried multiple drives with FreeBSD and they all try a PXE boot and then fail to find a bootable drive.  But each of the OpenBSD/NetBSD/OpenIndiana installs/boot work on each of the drives tried with FreeBSD.
