Can't load kernel error on PC-BSD / FreeSBIE

[lazerbeat]

I have a thinkpad X60 (2gb ram/dual core) which should theoretically easily powerful enough to manage FreeBSD in one form or another but I haven't managed to get PC-BSD or FreeSBIE to boot. I get a "can't load kernel" error and a command prompt almost immediately after the install starts with no information that I can identify as helpful. I have previously burned a CD using my current set up to install BSD on another machine and it worked ok so I think my burning equipment is ok.

I did post on the PC BSD forums but nobody seemed to be sure what the problem was. I have looked around on google a fair bit but havent had any luck, if anyone has any idea what my problem might be I would be most greatful.

First post more details.

I am not sure whether it is an option for you, but in general Thinkpad laptops are quite well supported in OpenBSD. Most developers have Thinkpads

What version of FreeBSD? Did you tried to play with various BIOS settings? .....
