 First, there is probably no point in trying to boot without ACPI support on
 modern systems.  Most likely "Safe mode" is just equivalent to "ACPI off" for
 the installation media.
 
 Second, it's surprising the Verbose option doesn't result in more verbose boot
 messages.  Could you please re-test this?
 
 I suspect that your problem might be related to the recent eventtimers changes.
 Could you please try playing with setting the following tunables on the loader
 prompt (via 'set' command)?
 
 kern.eventtimer.periodic=1
 kern.eventtimer.timer="LAPIC"
