I am installing 8.3-RELEASE on an old 900mhz pentium laptop ... it's

By default, GENERIC has "HAMMER" as the cpu, and that isn't working.

That's the amd64 (64-bit) GENERIC

Jason: It looks like you may have installed the 64-bit distribution on your 32-bit machine. Try fetching the distribution again (and re-burning the CD, or whatever your media was). This time get the "i386" version. That's what you want for a Pentium.

HTH.
