All the times I had similar problems installing stock FC2-disk1 on a 
modern motherboard it was related to the USB support. Either turning USB 
(and Firewire Support if available) completely off in the BIOS or 
appending nousb, nohotplug to the kernel boot parameters made FC2 
continue past this "/sbin/loader" point and onward.
