    At loader set hint.apic.0.disabled=1

    But it won't help you because 6.0 can't see the virtual disk.
    After I boot from install CD the SCSI controller is recognized
    (bt0 for vmxbuslogic or mpt0 for vmxlsilogic) but no HDD is found.
    If I go to FixIt shell and issue an
    camcontrol devlist -v
    I see that the HDD is there with no device node assigned to it.
    After I do
    camcontrol rescan 0:0:0
    The drive is found and maybe setup could partition it, though I
    didn't try because after reboot the disk won't be seen anyway.

    5.4 sees the disk on vmxlsilogic controller but shows lots
    of SCSI errors on console while working.

    It seems that only 4.x can be run on ESX and they aren't going
    to support any newver versions.
