    You disable APIC for Linux, but you didn't mention disabling it for FreeBSD.

    Type this at the boot prompt followed by 'boot':
    set hint.apic.0.disabled=1

    If that works, comment out the apic line in your kernel config file and
    rebuild. Alternatively, you may just put the above line in
    /boot/loader.conf.

    If that still doesn't work, try safe mode from the boot loader and
    report back.

    As far as I am aware, OpenBSD does not have ACPI support. FreeBSD
    should behave more like OpenBSD in safe mode, because safe mode turns
    off ACPI support.

    Hope something in the above helps,
    Jon
