Hardware configuration is:

Motherboard TYAN S5158, Pentiun 4 2.8 GHz.
Two Disks SATA 500 GB,
FreeNAS installed on USB flash.

Tried to boot from preinstalled FreeNAS 8.0.4 USB flash - same result.
tried to disconnect or Disable in BIOS HDD drives - same result.

It looks like you're having the same issue I am, it looks like it's being tracked in a bug report

http://support.freenas.org/ticket/321

If I install onto a HD (rather than a USB) it does work, but of course I lose the use of my HD for storage so I can't actually run in that config ;)

same issue with me. When I plugged the USB to the PC that will act as the real NAS, the usb image is working fine. It might some compatibility issue between freenas and my labtop (Lenovo N585).
