    Have you tried disabling ACPI via hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" in
    /boot/loader.conf

    The ACPI on these older machines is pretty bad. I have a very similar
    SuperMicro machine w/o SCSI at work which runs 5.3-R fine w/ACPI
    disabled. I discovered early in the 5.0 cycle that enabling ACPI
    would lead to a console message for each fxp0 interrupt..
