Boot fail on installer

[mrEss]

Hi Everyone.

I've run into a frustrating problem setting up a fresh install on a server that will just do network infrastructure and firewalling. It's replacing an aging Debian box doing just that.

I can't get into the installer!
I've tried 19.7, 20.1, HBSD 11.3, 12.1 They all have the same issue.

Vanilla FreeBSD, 11.3 and 12.1 boots just fine. I've even installed 11.3 and did do a opnsense-bootstrap just to get into the same non booting system. Same place, same message.

At
start_init: trying /sbin/init
it just reboots.
I managed to get a video snap of this passage and saw also
Starting files system checks:
/dev/ufs/HardenedBSD_Install: FILE SYSTEM CLEAN: SKIPPING CHECKS

Ok, you probably want the Hardware...

HP Microserver NL54
AMD Turion II dual core
4G DDR3 ECC
HD tried several, including diskless
Network: Intel 350 4port Gbit, Broadcom MB Gbit (disabled and enabled)

I'm at my whits end here. Any pointers or tricks to finding out what's the problem?

Can you boot with vm.pmap.pti set to 0 in the boot loader?

Thanks, that made me pull ahead and finish the install.

Where's that info in the wiki? Seems like an AMD problem.
