This sounds like the same issues I have on my Toshiba 1005.  I haven't
updated my web page yet, but I'm now using 4.9.  See:

    http://www.4gh.net/hints/toshiba/satellite1005-s157.html

To boot from the FreeBSD install CD:

  Booting [kernel] in 10 seconds...
  [press space key]
  ok boot -c
  [...boot messages...]
  config> eisa 0
  config> quit

The system should now boot up correctly.  You will need to build and
install a new kernel which disables eisa support.
