    After i send this mail i received a reply saying the following:

        Try installing it in safe mode. After you have installed it in safe
        mode,
        edit /boot/defaults/loader.conf. Comment out everything that handles
        acpi. Then add add this hint.apic.0.disabled="1"

        Hope that helps you,

        --Don

    However, booting into safe mode wont help, it still crashes at the same
    point so im still looking for help.

    Thanks in advance,
    Roeland
