 I'm sorry I no longer have FreeBSD installed on this machine.  The
 symptoms were a hang part way through the install (sysinstall would see
 the drives etc).  If I installed with ACPI off and then booted the
 installed OS with it on again then I would get a hard hang within a
 minute.  Disabling ACPI helped, disabling the APIC also helped.
 
 Regards/Mark
